Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup Dutch-processed or natural unsweetened cocoa powder, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups high-quality chocolate bars, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C (in the video stands 375°F but this is a typo, 350°F are correct). Line a 9x13–inch* (23 x 33–cm) baking pan with parchment paper with an overhang around the sides and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, white and brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla just until combined, about 1 minute. Then, sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt and stir just to combine, another minute. Add 1 cup of the chopped chocolate bars and whisk to combine.
  • Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate bars evenly on top. Bake for 23-30 minutes, or until the brownies don’t jiggle anymore when the pan is moved and they are just set to touch. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out slightly dirty with a few crumbs attached to it. The time varies from oven to oven, so check the first time after 20 minutes and then frequently until they are done.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes—the brownies will continue to bake in the pan. Then, carefully lift them out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting. Cut into 15 bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
