Classic Harvest Chocolate Brownies
Before Harvest Chocolate ...
As you may know, before there was Harvest Chocolate, my husband Matt and I worked in fine dining restaurants across the country including Chicago, New York City, Napa and San Francisco. Matt worked on the savory side and I worked on the pastry side. To this day, when we are at home, Matt does most of the cooking, and I stick to the baking.
However, when we flip sides: good things happen! This chocolate brownie recipe that we are sharing here is Matt's go-to recipe and it's so easy and delicious that I promise you won't need any other recipe.
Classic dark chocolate brownies that are both cakey and fudgy with a crackly top.
The key of course is to always use good quality chocolate so your brownies can really shine. Our Snacking Chocolate is perfect for just that --storing away in your baking cupboard for anytime you need a snack -- or when you need it to be the star ingredient of whatever chocolatey goodness you are baking. These chocolate chunks come in four different varieties each with a different flavor profile, so you can stick to a classic recipe, yet change up the chocolate depending on what you're feeling that day!
Ingredients:
- 6 ounces Harvest Snacking Chocolate - (pick your favorite variety!) roughly chopped
- 8 ounces (2 sticks) of unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions:
Make the Brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 9-inch pan (see Home Chef Tip) with parchment paper and spray parchment with cooking spray.
Over a double boiler, heat butter and chocolate over medium-low heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Add 1 cup sugar to chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
In large bowl, whisk eggs and remaining 1 cup sugar until smooth. While whisking, slowly pour chocolate mixture into egg mixture and whisk until just combined.
Add flour and salt and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined.
