The secret to the perfect crackle top and fudgy center is in two things

First- you beat the hell out of your sugar and eggs. For a good 5 minutes at a go. It incooporates a lot of air in the batter, which leads to a crackly top

Second- You tap your baking tin several times on your kitchen counter halfway through the baking process (after 20 minutes). This further accelerates the the cracking part

Once you try this recipe, I guarantee, you will throw away all of your previously tried brownie recipes
