Espresso Brownies by Chef Jason Hill

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (8 oz.) pkg. Baker’s Unsweetened Baking Chocolate Squares, chopped
• 1 oz. (2 tablespoons) Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/4 cups sweet butter
• 3/4 cup finely ground Starbucks Espresso beans
• 3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 300 F.
2. In a medium-size pot over low heat, melt butter. Add baking chocolate and the 1 oz. of chocolate chips, stirring constantly over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat.
3. In a large bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer, stir sugar and ground espresso on low speed until well incorporated.
4. On medium speed, gradually add the melted chocolate-butter mixture, salt, eggs and vanilla. Beat until well blended.
5. Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour until everything is incorporated; add chocolate chips last, just to blend.
6. Spread batter evenly into a buttered and floured 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 70 minutes, or until center comes out clean when toothpick is inserted.
7. Since cooking times vary, start checking after about 55-60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
8. Cut into squares or triangles and keep refrigerated until ready for service. These brownies taste best served cold.
