How to Make Obituary Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate: In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  3. Whisk eggs and sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  6. Cool and chill: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This helps them set and makes them easier to cut.
  7. Cut and serve: Once chilled, cut into 2-inch squares. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce for an extra decadent treat!
  8. Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
