Super Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownies

Super Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownies

Let me just say this. Sometimes a girl just has to have a brownie.  Not just any brownie.  She has to have a gooey fudgy brownie, still oozing with chocolate. And it must have chocolate chips. Loads of chocolate chips.....the kind that almost melt but not quite. And the brownie has to be warm, just out of the oven. Oh.... and it has to have ice cream.  Cold and creamy vanilla ice cream on top that melts almost as fast as she can eat it.  She has to have it. No reason. Case closed.

Super Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownies

6 oz. unsweetened chocolate (I use Bakers Chocolate)
1 cup butter, softened
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup (6 oz.) semisweet Chocolate Chips

Melt unsweetened baking chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until almost melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely melted.  Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat eggs for about 5 minutes until light in color. Add sugar and mix until smooth.  Stir in vanilla. Next, add the melted chocolate and egg mixture to the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until smooth and well incorporated.  Add the flour and mix everything with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Pour batter into a well-greased 9 x 13 baking pan. If you like thicker brownies, you can use an 8 x 8 pan and cook longer. Smooth top with offset spatula or wooden spoon.  Sprinkle all your chocolate chips on top.  

Bake on the center rack at 300 degrees for about 40-45 minutes.  This is a slow bake so the fudgy inside bakes while keeping the outside from burning.  Test with a toothpick placed in the center of the brownies to be sure they are done. They will still be quite moist in the center. Don’t over bake.

Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into 2 inch squares and serving with ice cream.  

I keep these in the refrigerator and serve them chilled after the first ones come out of the oven. You can heat them up in the microwave for 20 seconds if you want to serve them warm.  Enjoy!
