You can never go wrong with brownies. These brownies are moist, fudgey (not sure if that is actually a word), and delicious! I used to be intimidated by brownies because I was always scared of burning chocolate, but these could not be easier. I melted my chocolate in the microwave, but if you prefer stovetop, that is fine to, just be very careful not to burn it.
Ingredients:
5 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (I used semisweet choc. chips, you can also get a bar and coarsely chop it)
2 oz unsweetened chocolate (1/2 a bar), coarsely chopped
8 Tbsp (1 stick) butter
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all purpose flour
Directions:
1) Put your oven rack in the middle position and pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 inch square baking dish with a foil sling by placing 2 long sheets of foil perpendicular to each other and pressing down in the corners and smoothing out any wrinkles in the foil (mine is never perfect). This just makes it so much easier to remove the brownies from the pan. Grease the foil.
2) Melt the butter, cocoa powder, and both chocolates in the microwave, stirring often, about 1-3 mins.
Let the mixture cool slightly.
3) Whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt. Then add the melted chocolate and whisk until well combined. Stir in the flour until just combined. Do not over mix. Over mixing can make the brownies very airy.
4) Pour the batter into your foil lined baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 mins, rotating the pan half way through baking. Check doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out with just a few crumbs, they are ready. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Remove the brownies from the pan using the foil. Cut and serve.
Enjoy!
