Eating brownies or making sundaes, both hit the chocolate spot! |
Today I decided to get up and bake brownies and to serve them as the base for brownie ice cream sundaes for dessert Sunday evening. I think that sounds just about right after the spaghetti and meatball supper I am planning! This recipe makes two 9" x 13" pans so I am freezing the second pan for another day. This is a recipe adapted from Ree Drummond's TV program, The Pioneer Woman.
Ingredients for Triple Chocolate Brownies:
1 pound butter (4 sticks) plus 2 T. for the pans
10 ounces dark unsweetened chocolate (2 1/2, 4 ounce packages)
1/2 C. unsweetened cocoa
6 large eggs
2 T. vanilla
4 C. sugar
2 1/2 C. flour
1 1/2 C. semi sweet chocolate pieces
 |
Easy lift out and storage for freezing the second pan after baking. |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 9" x 13" pans with foil then butter generously and set them aside.
 |
Melting butter and chocolate, divine. |
Use a medium large heavy bottom pan to melt the butter and chocolate together over low heat.
 |
I measure cocoa over a paper plate. |
Stir until smooth then add the cocoa and stir again until smooth. Remove from the heat and cool for five minutes.
 |
This recipe was made very simply with a pan and a spoon. |
Add the sugar and the vanilla and stir together well. Beat in the eggs all at once. Fold in the flour until combines then add the chocolate chips and blend.
 |
Three chocolates are better than one. |
Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Test with a toothpick. The toothpick can be damp but should not have batter clinging to it. Bake 5 more minutes if needed,
 |
Glistening and ready to bake. |
Cool completely. Lift foil with the brownies out and place on a cutting board. Slice into squares using a large knife. I double wrapped the second pan and froze for another day.
For sundaes place a dip of your favorite ice cream atop a brownie, top with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and maybe a cherry or sprinkles!
My theory is chocolate makes everything better!
