Aren't we lucky that brownies exist? Then we are blessed with chocolate chip fudge brownies. Yay!
When I was a kid, I saw the movie Willy Wonka and was mesmerized by the idea and decadence of a candy factory where someone liked Willy Wonka lived. For some time after seeing the movie, I would have a recurring dream where I somehow got to visit the Wonka factory. I remember vividly jumping into a vat of chocolate sauce and drinking the chocolate, eating flowers that were really candy and meandering all over the candy factory in sheer delight. Of course, now I wouldn't want to jump into a vat of chocolate sauce; how messy would that be?
The love of chocolate has stuck with me though and I love finding a good brownie recipe.
One thing I love about this particular brownie recipe is that there are chocolate chips spread throughout. I suppose it's like brownies that have walnuts, except these have chocolate chips.
I baked these in a 9 x 11 pan and although you can see the chocolate chips in the photos, they are cooked all the way through. Some brownies are good when just a little underdone and a little gooey. I baked these so that they were chewier (but not underdone and a little gooey) if that makes sense. If you prefer more cake-like brownies, simply use a smaller pan, like an 8x8. So good either way!
I usually have a cup of tea in the mid-afternoon most weekdays and this will be the perfect accompaniment.
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 3/4 cup butter 1 1/2 sticks
- 4 eggs
- 1 cups and 1/2 sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 6 ounces
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If using a glass plan, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare, grease and flour your baking pan.
-
In the microwave, place unsweetened chocolate and butter in a glass measuring cup or glass bowl and heat until almost melted. Stir to melt remainder. You could also melt in saucepan on stove over low heat.
-
Place eggs, sugar and vanilla in large bowl and using an electric mixer blend until light colored and combined. Stir in the chocolate/ butter mixture and blend. Next, add the flour and blend. Gently blend with a spoon or spatula. Do not overbeat.
-
Pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Spread chocolate chips over the top and using a knife swirl around the batter to immerse some of the chips.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Cool on rack completely before cutting. Store in a airtight container. May freeze for up to one month.
Enjoy!
