- Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Mix the melted chocolate into the tofu mixture until well blended. Stir in flour mixture until thoroughly combined, about 3 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Tips:
- Use silken tofu: It has a smooth texture that blends easily and results in a fudgy brownie.
- Drain the tofu well: This will prevent excess moisture in the brownies.
- Use a food processor or blender: This will help to create a smooth batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough brownies.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will result in dry brownies.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
