Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 10 ounces finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 ounces finely chopped unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), plus for buttering the paper
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Glaze:
- 6 ounces finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 13 by 9 by 2-inch-baking pan with parchment or wax paper, so that the edges of the paper come up the sides. Lightly butter the paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Combine the semi-sweet and unsweetened chocolates and the butter in a heatproof medium bowl. Fill a medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat. Set the bowl on the pan, over the heated water, to melt the chocolate gently. Whisk until smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until evenly blended. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Take care not to over mix the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out coated with a fudge-y crumb, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool the brownies in the pan on a rack.
To make the glaze, put the semi-sweet chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, boil the heavy cream, and pour it over the chocolate. Let stand for 5 minutes, then stir until melted and smooth. Spread the glaze evenly over the brownies and let set at room temperature.
Lift the edges of the paper to take the brownies out of the pan. Cut the brownies into 24 squares. Serve.

This is an awesome recipe. Although I thought they were just a bit to sweet. Nothing a glass of milk can't handle.

THE BEST BROWNIES MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EVER HAD!!! This recipe is great! So easy, too. There's only 2 of us in our home, so I cut the recipe in half and used a greased 8" x 8" glass pan, and baked it at 350F for 30 minutes. I also used Scharffen Berger 62% semisweet chunks and Scharffen Berger 99% unsweetened baking chocolate (I found them at Bristol Farms...check the website scharffenberger dot com to see where it's sold near you. This chocolate is a little pricey, but if you're like us and rarely treat yourself to something "bad", you might as well use the very best!! The results were worth it; decadent, thick, rich, fudgey, gooey chocolate brownie dream! I also had my eggs and butter at room temperature and the batter came together beautifully. Literally a chocolate climax - if my husband and I smoked, we would have lit up after partaking of these!!

Best brownies I have ever made! I didnt put the glaze on though. Instead I melted caramel candies with a little heavy cream and swirled that into the brownies after I poured the batter in the pan. Then I just baked them for 1/2 an hour and they came out perfect! Really gooey and fudgey. Really really great recipe.
