Time 1h5m

Yield 20 large brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound unsalted butter
1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
  • Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.

BROWNIES FOR A CROWD



Brownies for a Crowd image

This recipe is in an old Farm Journal cookbook, Homemade Cookies, published in the 1971. The brownies are cake-like, the chocolate syrup making them nicely moist. I have made this recipe many times, and it is always a family favorite.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c hershey syrup (one can)
1 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c chopped nuts (optional)
ICING INGREDIENTS
6 Tbsp butter
6 Tbsp milk
1 c sugar
1/2 c chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease well a 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 1" jelly roll pan.
  • 2. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in chocolate syrup.
  • 3. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to chocolate mixture. Add nuts if using.
  • 4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake about 22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • 5. Cool in pan.
  • 6. When brownies are cool, prepare frosting:
  • 7. Combine butter, sugar, and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips and vanilla.
  • 8. Stir until mixture thickens slightly. (I hasten this process by putting pan's bottom in ice water.)
  • 9. Spread icing over brownies. If I haven't used nuts in the brownies, sometimes I sprinkle nuts over the icing as soon as I spread it.
