ISO Brownie recipe ideas- Inspired by Baked and Wired

[Torshi]

Greetings- in anticipation of travel and things that one just does not find abroad.  I want a very solid brownie recipe- that rides more to the fudge side than the cake.  The Cream Cheese Brownie at Baked and Wired is out of this world- so something along those lines. [simple google did not get me there]  

I don't bake often, so I do not even know the building techniques of making such a brownie- so really almost any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Sorry guys- it is not as much of a lazy question as it may seem.  Do I need to do some ganache action or is it a waste of effort, etc.  So it is more than just a "here is a recipe" question.  I just saw some lady on HO says to hell with it and dumps chocolate chips into box mix when she needs a fix (not judging and might do it myself).

So, it is kind of a "Cooks Illustrated" style exercise to be answered with your personal experience if that makes sense.

I found a Marcel Desaulniers recipe on Food Network. I've made his chocolate chocolate cookies as gifts and received rave reviews.

For a very fudgey brownie, I recommend Paul Young’s brownie recipes.

I know I'm seeing this late, but if you are still looking: I just keep a box of Ghiradelli Double Chocolate brownie mix in my pantry and it makes very nice dense brownies.  If you want a cream cheese swirl, I'd use the box mix and follow these instructions to add the cream cheese to the brownies.

Super, thanks!  I am going to experiment with the above as well.  It is that dense fudge-ness that I am going for.  I want to do "Americana" for kids (well, adults too) deserts at holiday.  I was also thinking dirt cups and rice krispy treats.  Thanks everyone!

Ooh, if you are doing Christmas treats, these would be very appropriate: https://www.twosisterscrafting.com/christmas-rice-krispie-treat-bites/

I'd also recommend cracker toffee, which is super easy to make.
