Ingredients

6 ounce Semisweet chocolate chips
4 ounce Unsweetened chocolate;

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2
Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over the short ends to create handles. Lightly butter the foil.
3
In a double boiler over hot (not simmering) water, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and unsweetened chocolate together until smooth.
4
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes until tepid.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
6
In a medium bowl, beat eggs until foamy.
7
Add sugar to the eggs and beat until well blended.
8
Stir the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until combined.
9
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
10
If using, fold in any additional mix-ins like nuts or white chocolate chunks.
11
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
12
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
13
Cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
14
Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil handles and let them cool completely on the rack for at least 2 hours.
15
Invert the brownies onto a cutting board, peel off the foil, and invert again onto a smooth surface.
16
Cut into 24 squares and serve.
