DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Are you a dark chocolate person or a milk chocolate person? I have to say, I'm more in the light/milk chocolate camp myself.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the unsweetened chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.Stir in sugar and vanilla until just combined.One at a time, stir in the eggs. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and stir just until combined. Pour batter (it will be very thick!) into a greased 8 x 8 or 9 x 13 baking pan. (Square pan will result in thicker brownies.) Spread to even out the top and place in the oven. Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If it is overly gooey/messy, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes. (Just be careful not to burn the edges.) Allow to cool completely (important!), then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into small squares. The brownies are very rich! *Note: When warm the brownies will seem overly gooey/soft. As they cool, they will firm up. (Brownies are best several hours after baking, or even the next day!)
DARK CHOCOLATE INDULGENT BROWNIES
I am a huge fan of dark chocolate. There are so many choices these days when going to select chocolate. I use the chocolate with the highest percentage of cacao I can find. We also like to add a 1/2 cup of walnuts to the batter. Drizzle some melted chocolate on top of the brownies for a special presentation. Choose what you like the best!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F and grease an 8x8 baking pan.
- Heat 6 oz of chocolate, butter, sugar, and water over low heat until melted and combined. Stir constantly. I do this with a small glass bowl placed over a small sauce pan which contains water to steam the bowl from underneath. Some like to do this step in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds if you choose the microwave method and watch carefully toward the end so the chocolate doesn't burn.
- Pour this mixture into a larger bowl and cool slightly. You don't want scrambled eggs in your brownies!
- When chocolate mixture has cooled enough add in the eggs one at a time mixing thoroughly.
- Stir in vanilla, flour, and salt. Mix well.
- Add remaining 4 oz of chocolate and nuts if desired.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan and cook for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool before cutting.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients and line the baking pan with parchment paper.
- Use good quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate used will greatly impact the flavor of the brownies. Opt for a high-cocoa content chocolate (70% or higher) for a rich and intense chocolate flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in dense, chewy brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no more streaks of flour.
- Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies for the recommended time, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting: Cutting the brownies while they're still warm will cause them to crumble. Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before slicing and serving.
