A recipe from my secret stash I'd like to share with the existing chocolate lover lurking here! These are super rich and loaded with fantastic calories! They make a very special gift or snack when you need comfort or are surrounded by loving friends and family. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 lb semisweet chocolate |
1/4 cup butter |
4 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon instant coffee, dissolved in |
1 teaspoon water |
1/4 cup flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 lb semi-sweet chocolate chips (use 1/2 pound semisweet and 1/2 pound milk chocolate chips or chocolate, chunks*) or 1 lb semisweet chocolate chunk (use 1/2 pound semisweet and 1/2 pound milk chocolate chips or chocolate, chunks*) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, melt the first pound of semisweet chocolate with the butter, stirring occasionally; set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350*F. Grease and flour a 13x9 baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually beat in the sugar until the mixture is thick and pale.
4. Beat in the melted chocolate, vanilla, and dissolved coffee.
5. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Add to the chocolate mixture just until combined; do not overmix.
7. Gently stir in the chocolate chunks.
8. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
9. Bake 25-30 minutes. The bars will be shiny on top, and a toothpick will test almost done.
10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack; cut into bars. (These are very gooey when warm, but supremely delightful!).
