Extra Dark Chocolate Chips Recipe
Truffle Brownies
1 2/3 cups (10 oz) Extra Dark Chocolate Chips
3 tbs unsalted butter
3 tbs water
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla
3 large eggs
1/4 cup un sifted all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 8 inch square pan with foil.
Heat chocolate, butter and water in a large microwave-safe bowl at 50% power for 2-3 minutes stirring well until all the chocolate is melted. Bean in the sugar, salt and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in flour until combined.
Spread the batter into the pan and bake 35-40 minutes. Do not over bake. Makes 16 squares.
Melting - Microwave these extra-dark chips in 30-second intervals using microwave safe bowls, stirring in-between to distribute the heat, in order to avoid scorching the chocolate. Keep chocolate at a constant temperature to produce a smooth professional look. You can purchase a griddle, or use your stove top and frying pan. Lay two towels on the pan or griddle before placing the chocolate filled plastic bowl.
