This is an easy and delicious rich fudgy brownie recipe that I came up with that you can embellish however you like. This will make around 18 regular sized brownies (using a pan that is around 12 inches by 8 inches) or around over 30 smaller sized brownies Depending on how big or small you slice them.

Ingredients for around 18-30 servings

4 oz unsalted butter

10 oz 60% bittersweet chocolate chips

1/3 cup dark brown sugar

2/3 cup sugar

1 1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon course sea salt

3 eggs – lightly beaten

1 teaspoon pure vanilia extract

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

non-stick spray

Turbinado sugar – heavy sprinkle for a crunchy finish

more chocolate chips for finishing (a mix of milk and dark or broken chocolate bars)

Some nuts – I do 1/2 walnuts on one side….Some people prefer with walnuts…… some people prefer without nuts….Pecans might be good….Sometimes I do hatch chile, peaches, and pumpkin seeds. Got other ideas too!

Optional – Melted chocolate for a drizzle

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a pan that is about 12 X 8 with non stick spray.

Melt in either a sauce pan or in a Medium – Larger bowl in your microwave a stick (4oz.) of butter.

Add the 10oz of bittersweet chocolate chips…….about 1/2 will melt and 1/2 will stay hard…..

On top of that add the sugars, flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, vanilla, and cocoa.

Stir till mixed with a fork. (The batter will be very thick)

Spread this batter as evenly as you can in your pan.

Top the batter with whatever chips and nuts that you are using.

Finish with a good sprinkle of Turbinado sugar.

This goes in your preheated oven on a middle rack till it seems baked.

ovens do differ….In my old oven this would take 25 minutes and in my current oven this took about 30 minutes. Today the way I cut them I got 33 brownies. Some I’m bringing to a gathering and some I’m freezing for another time.

When they cooled down a bit I drizzled them with melted chocolate.

ENJOY!!!
