Amazing, Really Amazing, Fudge Brownies

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 30
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 12 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup butter (i usually use margarine to kee it non-dairy)
• 3 cups sugar
• 6 large eggs (the original recipe says room temperature, but i've used them straight out of the fridge)
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 12 ounces chocolate chips (or chocolate chips, or toffee bits, or candied pecans, or peanuts, or m&ms, you get the pictur)

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.
• 2 the original recipe says to grease a 12 x 18 inch jelly roll pan, but i use a 9 x13 inch cake pan for intense denseness, and don't grease it, just line it with parchment paper).
• 3 melt the chocolate with the butter, either on the stovetop or in the microwave. stir until smooth. let cool for about 5 minutes.
• 4 mix in the sugar and the eggs and the vanilla extract.
• 5 add in the flour, baking powder and salt. mix until combined.
• 6 pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• 7 sprinkle the chips (nuts, whatever) evenly over the top of the batter.
• 8 the original recipe says to bake for 25-28 minutes until a cake tester comes out with some moist crumbs attached to it. this never works for me. i usually have to let it go for about 40-45 minutes. this is probably because my pan is more condensed than the jelly roll pan.
• 9 do not overbake!
• 10 i usually let the brownies cool in the pan, the keep them in the fridge overnight. the i just lift them out of the pan by the parchment paper, place the whole thing on a cutting board and then it's the perfect state for cutting into perfect brownie squares.
• 11 some of us like the edges the best, others prefer the center.
