Quadruple Chocolate Brownies

Recchiuti logoThis brownie recipe from San Francisco chocolatier Michael Recchiuti uses four different kinds of chocolate: milk chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, and white chocolate. I'm going to make brownies this week and since I usually go with a typical one chocolate recipe, I'm going to definitely try this. Full recipe (from Food and Wine) after the jump.

Quadruple Chocolate Brownies

1 1/4 pounds (5 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 pound unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
5 1/2 cups sugar
16 large eggs
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound white chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound milk chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

Preheat the oven to 300°. Line the bottoms of two 9-by-13-inch baking pans with parchment paper. In a large saucepan, melt the butter with the unsweetened chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar with the eggs, vanilla and salt. Add the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth. Add the flour and whisk until incorporated. Stir in 5 ounces of each of the chopped chocolates. Spread the batter in the prepared pans.

Place the remaining chopped chocolates separately in 3 small microwave-safe bowls and melt. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolates over the batter. Using a table knife, make swirls in the batter for a marbled effect. Bake the brownies for about 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the tops are shiny and the brownies are set.

Transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tip of the Day

We can change the way we make eggs -- scrambled, poached, fried -- but what about changing the eggs themselves? Mix up your scrambling routine with quail eggs.
