What's the trick to a fudgy chocolate brownie?

The trick to having a fudgy brownie is having a higher fat content than flour content. Using less flour in the recipe will result in a denser, fudgy texture. Whereas, adding more flour will give you a cakey brownie. Also, be careful not to overbake brownies, as a slightly underdone brownie will give you that fudgy texture.
