Time 45m

Yield 18 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate
6 eggs
1 3/4 cups superfine sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white chocolate buttons, chips, or morsels
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate buttons, chips or morsels
Approximately 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Special equipment: Baking tin (approximately 11 1/4 inches by 9 inches by 2 inches), sides and base lined with baking parchment.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large heavy based pan over a low heat.
In a bowl or large measuring jug, beat the eggs together with the superfine sugar and vanilla extract.
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool a little, then add the egg and sugar mixture and beat well. Fold in the flour and salt. Then stir in the white chocolate buttons or chips, and the semisweet chocolate buttons or chips. Beat to combine then scrape and pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin.
Bake for about 25 minutes. You can see when the brownies are ready because the top dries to a slightly paler brown speckle, while the middle remains dark, dense and gooey. Even with such a big batch you do need to keep checking on it: the difference between gooey brownies and dry ones is only a few minutes. Remember, too, that they will continue to cook as they cool.
To serve, cut into squares while still warm and pile up on a large plate, sprinkling with confectioners' sugar pushed with a teaspoon through a small sieve.

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 54

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 sticks unsalted butter, cubed, plus more, softened, for sheet
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces roasted unsalted nuts, such as peanuts, pecans, or walnuts, coarsely chopped (1 2/3 cups)
6 ounces dried fruits, such as raisins, currants, or cherries (1 1/4 cups)
4 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped (3/4 cup)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with butter. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt butter with 10 ounces (2 cups) bittersweet chocolate. Remove from heat; stir until smooth. Let cool 5 minutes. Add both sugars, eggs, and vanilla and beat on medium speed, or whisk vigorously by hand, until thickened slightly and glossy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture just until combined. Stir in two-thirds of nuts and dried fruits.
Transfer batter to prepared sheet, spreading evenly to edges. Sprinkle evenly with white chocolate and remaining nuts, dried fruits, and 1 cup bittersweet chocolate. Gently press toppings into batter with flattened palms.
Bake until edges are puffed and just set but center is still wobbly, 20 to 23 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely. Cut lengthwise into thirds, then crosswise into 1-inch-thick rectangles. Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days, or stacked between layers of parchment in a freezer bag and frozen up to 1 month. (Thaw at room temperature before serving.)
