Triple Chocolate Brownies

MMMMmmmmmm


Ok so do ya wanna know a secret?? Lemme explain how to make the most delicious, moist, tender, chocolatey brownies ever... and I'll let you in on a litle secret ;-)

Whir all of these things together...

Pick your poison- I might reccomend walnuts... or even chocolate chips...or even both...eheh

Ok and if you really want to know the secret I'll tell you...the secret is...
.........
in the chocolate! You need good chocolate- high quality, and its important because it leads to smooth chocolate which leads to good fudgy brownies. Trust!
And if you really must know here is the recipe: (I doubled it by the way for the size of the pan/amount of chocolate I had):
Oh and It comes from Martha Stewarts Cookie Book
Ingredients:
-6 tbsp unsalted butter
-6 oz semisweet chocolate (scharffen berger)
-1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used also scharffen berger)
-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-1/4 tsp baking powder
-1/4 tsp coarse salt
-1 cup sugar
-2 large eggs
-2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a buttered 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, allowing a 2-inch overhang. Butter lining.
Put butter, chocolate and cocoa powder in a heatproof bowl and melt it slowly in intervals of 15-20 seconds in the microwave, you do not want to cook the chocolate, just melt it. Let cool slightly.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Put sugar, eggs and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix on medium speed until pale, about 4 minutes. Add chocolate mixture; mix until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; mix, scraping down sides of bowl, until well combined.
Pour bater into prepared pan; spread evenly with a spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into brownies comes out with a few crumbs but is not wet, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, about 15 minutes. Lift out; let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
