BEST BROWNIE RECIPE

TRIPLE-CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIES

Ingredients

• 6 ounces (170 g) fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 ounces (55 g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup (960 ml)) unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) sugar
• 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
• 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (240 ml) semisweet chocolate chips

Method

1. In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate and the unsweetened chocolate with the butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the mixture cool until it is lukewarm.
2. Stir in the sugar and the vanilla, then add the eggs, 1 at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the salt and the flour, stirring until the mixture is just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips.
3. Pour the batter into a well-buttered and floured 13- by 9-inch (23 cm) baking pan and smooth the top. Bake the mixture in the middle of a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhering to it.
4. Let the mixture cool completely in the pan on a rack, then cut it into 24 bars.
