Dark Chocolate Chunk Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 x 13inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
• In a large bowl whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth. Add the yogurt, oil and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the chocolate-butter mixture and whisk until blended. Add the flour mixture and mix until just moistened.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and sprinkle with nuts if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 squares.

Steps:

• Place the flour, cocoa, both the sugars, the butter, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl and mix until smooth.
• Add the chocolate and stir to combine.
• Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
• Lightly grease a 20cm square tin and line with non-stick baking paper.
• Spread the mixture into the tin.
• Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until the brownie is set.
• Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm, or allow to cool completely in the tin.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
• Grease a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-cm) dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with more butter.
• OPTION 1: If using prepared mix, make the brownie batter according to the package instructions.
• OPTION 2: If making the brownie batter from scratch, in a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla, eggs, and water and whisk to combine.
• Stir in the chocolate chunks.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
• Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top and swirl into the batter with a knife or skewer.
• Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes. Transfer the brownie pan to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan and cut into 12 bars.
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 8-inch square baking pan. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Cool to room temperature.
• Combine 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in small bowl. Whisk 1 cup sugar, eggs and vanilla extract in medium bowl until mixture is very thick, about 3 minutes. Whisk in melted chocolate mixture, then flour mixture. Stir in white chocolate. Transfer to prepared pan.
• Bake brownies until tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 28 minutes. Transfer brownies in pan to rack; cool completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
• Cut brownies into 16 squares. Serve brownies with strawberries.

Steps:

• Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl.
• Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them.
• Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
• While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
• Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board.
• Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You'll know it's ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you're there.
• Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like.
• Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly.
• Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don't want to overdo this mixing.
• Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they're dotted throughout.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it.
• Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it's not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven.
• Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you're using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you're using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles.
• They'll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.

Steps:

• Chop chocolate into about 1/2-inch chunks; about 2 cups.
• In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine half the chocolate and the butter.
• Heat in a microwave oven on half-power (50%) just until chocolate is soft and butter is melted, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• Stir until mixture is smooth.
• Let stand until just warm to touch.
• In a bowl, with a wooden spoon, beat eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
• Add chocolate mixture and stir until well blended.
• Add flour, about a third at a time, stirring after each addition just until blended.
• Add remaining chopped chocolate and mix just until chunks are evenly distributed.
• Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking parchment, draping over rim a little.
• Scrape batter into pan; spread level.
• Bake in a 325°F oven just until the surface develops a thin crust (like the delicate layer of ice that forms on freezing water) and a fingertip pressed very gently in the center leaves a soft impression, 20 to 25 minutes; take care not to overbake.
• Cool completely in pan on a rack, at least 1 hour.
• Lift brownie out on parchment, peel off parchment, and set brownie on a board.
• Cut into 8 squares or wedges or 16 triangles.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Butter the foil.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
• Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool slightly, then stir in the sugar. Mix in the beaten eggs until combined. Stir in the flour mixture and 1 cup chocolate chunks until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chunks. Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly moist, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Lift out of the pan, peel off the foil and cut into pieces.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13" pan with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Stir in sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
• In a separate bowl sift the flour and cocoa together three times. Then add the sifted flour and cocoa to the sugar mixture. Mix well.
• In a small bowl, toss the chocolate chips in a Tbsp of flour, until they are lightly coated. This helps the chocolate chips suspend evenly throughout the batter instead of sinking to the bottom of the brownies. Once coated, add the chocolate chips to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of brownies comes out clean.
• Mix softened cream cheese and milk with fork until smooth. Add powdered sugar until smooth and glossy. Drizzle over cooled brownies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with oil; line with a strip of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides, and brush paper with oil.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda; set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, applesauce, sour cream, melted chocolate, eggs, and oil until combined; add flour mixture, and mix just until moistened.
• Spread batter in prepared pan; sprinkle top with chopped chocolate. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Cool completely in pan. Use paper overhang to lift cake from pan; peel off paper, and discard. Cut into 16 squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving the paper hanging over on 2 opposite sides.
• Place semisweet chocolate and butter into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt chocolate in a microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Beat brown sugar, eggs, and orange zest together using an electric mixer in a bowl until thick and fluffy. Fold in chocolate mixture.
• Sift flour and cocoa together into a separate bowl; stir in chocolate mixture. Stir in white chocolate bits. Spread into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan completely before lifting out, 15 to 30 minutes, using the paper as handles. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line the bottom of baking sheet with parchment paper. Coat parchment with cooking spray; set aside. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• Heat butter and unsweetened chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until almost melted. Remove from heat. Whisk until mixture is smooth and slightly cool.
• Transfer chocolate mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add sugar. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Add vanilla; beat 3 minutes more. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture; beat until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
• Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake until brownie has just set but still feels soft, about 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares.
