ingredients

• Ingredients

• 2 cups holls 63% swiss bittersweet baking chocolate
• 1 cup butter, Unsalted, diced
• 2 1⁄3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch-process
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• unsalted butter, for greasing pan

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Line the bottom and up two sides with a single sheet of parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the two long sides of the pan by an inch or so.
2. Place a large pot filled with an inch or two of water over low heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Combine the chocolate and diced butter in a stainless steel or glass bowl. Set the bowl over the pot. Stir occasionally until melted. Remove bowl from the top of the pot and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs just until the yolks and whites are blended. Whisk in the sugar and beat until the mixture is creamed together (slightly thickened and pale). Stir in the vanilla.
4. Sift together the flour, cocoa and salt. Set aside.
5. Pour the chocolate into the egg and sugar mixture, stir to blend well. Add the flour mixture in three additions, using a spatula to gently fold in each addition before adding the next.
6. Scrape the batter into the pan and place in the center of the oven. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean. Transfer pan to wire rack and let cool completely before cutting. Use the parchment overhang to lift from pan.

Yummmmmm! These are rich, moist and chocolatey! I cut the recipe to make a quarter amount and wasn't sure if it would work and it came out wonderfully. I baked it in a small glass baking dish for 25 minutes which was perfect. Made for the 2015 Culinary Quest by one of the Toasted Tourists

Oh, yum! Chocolate heaven! These are very easy to make, and so worth taking the time to do from scratch. A rich, dark, moist center is surrounded by a crunchy edge, just what you want in a brownie. I did have to bake these a bit longer than written, about 5 minutes extra for my oven. The bittersweet chocolate keeps these from being too sweet, I would definitely NOT substitute a sweeter chocolate. Made for ZWT7- Emerald City Shakers
