Notes

  • You can use a 9x9 pan for thicker brownies, simply increase baking time to 48 minutes.
  • If you want to cut the brownies into nice squares with clean edges, you can stick the cooled brownies in the freezer overnight, and then cut the frozen brownies and thaw before eating. 
  • You may also choose to use 4 oz each of bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate. It's certainly more convenient to buy the two packs of 4 oz each instead of buying 3 packs then having a bit of each kind of chocolate left over. But I really recommend sticking with the 5 to 3 ratio to get the flavor just right. 
  • Highly recommend using the Ghirardelli chocolate and not Bakers or the store brand. The higher quality chocolate makes a huge difference in the final result.
