These Aren’t a Boxed Mix

This scratch brownie recipe is a family and friend favorite. It is easy to make and is a rich, chocolatey brownie which will fill that sweet tooth as a snack or as a dessert.

Make it a brownie sundae, top with ice cream and some caramel sauce. The kids will be asking you to make them again.

The recipe can be modified to only use one type of chocolate chip but I have found that the combination is a nice balance of flavor.

The unsweetened chocolate gives a bump in the chocolate richness.

.5x1x2x3x

• ▢ 8 oz Unsweetened Chocolate
• ▢ 7 oz Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
• ▢ 7 oz Dark Chocolate Chips
• ▢ 1 lb Unsalted Butter
• ▢ 1 tsp Kosher Salt
• ▢ 1 tbsp Vanilla
• ▢ 26 oz Sugar
• ▢ 8 ea Whole Eggs
• ▢ 6 oz All Purpose Flour
• ▢ ½ lb Optional -Toasted Walnuts

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 325°
• In a heat resistant bowl, combine the butter cubed, unsweetened chocolate chopped, both chocolate chips.
• Place the bowl over a pot with about one – two inches of water. Bring the water to a simmer and melt all ingredients in the bowl.
• In a mixer, combine the eggs and sugar. Whip on high and whip the eggs and sugar to full volume.
• Add the Vanilla to the eggs and sugar.
• Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and slowly drizzle in the butter and chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mix.
• Once the chocolate is combined in the mixer scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixer bowl.
• Add the salt and flour to the mixing bowl. Mix on low to combine the flour. Scrape the bowl sides and bottom to ensure ingredients are combined.
• Optional – add toasted walnuts if using.
• Spray an half sheet pan with nonstick spray.
• Pour the brownie batter into the half sheet pan.
• Bake for 40 – 45 minutes.

  I like to bake for 40 minutes it gives a soft chewy brownie.

  Another 5 minutes will make more dry finish to the brownies.
