How to Make Dark Chocolate Chunk Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Chop 12 ounces (340g) of 64% dark chocolate into ½-inch chunks. Set aside 2 cups (1/2 of total chopped chocolate) for later.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup (170g) of the chopped dark chocolate.
  4. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate is melted and butter is incorporated (about 1-1.5 minutes). Stir until completely smooth.
  5. Let the chocolate mixture cool until just warm to the touch.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  7. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour.
  9. Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  10. Stir in the remaining 2 cups of chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed.
  11. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  12. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (the center will still be slightly gooey).
  14. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before cutting.
  15. Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Remove the parchment paper and cut into squares or triangles.
