Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownies.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by greasing and dusting it with flour.

   Next, take a Ghirardelli chocolate baking bar and chop it into 1-inch pieces, placing them in a heatproof bowl or the top of a double boiler.

3. Step 3

   Add butter to the chocolate and set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water.

4. Step 4

   Stir occasionally as the mixture melts into a silky smooth delight, then remove it from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

5. Step 5

   Once cooled, blend in brown sugar and vanilla extract, followed by the eggs, mixing until everything is harmoniously combined.

6. Step 6

   In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder, then gently fold this dry mixture into the chocolate concoction until just blended.

   To elevate your brownies, stir in a generous handful of chocolate chips.

8. Step 8

   Pour the luscious brownie batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
