Balmy Brownies

I made these for a surprise for my brother and sister in law... well it was supposed to be a surprise anyways. My sister gave it away. But they loved them! My brother said they were fudgey just like he likes them. They fall apart very easily and are very moist. Any brownie fan would love these!

Before anything -- preheat the oven to 350 degrees -- like always

Before you begin, here is a little secret! This will make it a lot easier to take the brownies out of the pan once they are all baked. Before pouring the batter into the pan, put a layer of tin foil that covers the bottom and sides. Then, spray the tin foil with Pam and proceed by pouring the batter onto the tin foil into the pan.

Gather together
4 sticks of unsalted butter
12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 ounces of unsweetened Baker's chocolate
Melt these together in a medium bowl over simmering water. Once everything is blended together and completely melted, take off the stove and set aside to let cool only slightly.

In a medium bowl, stir (don't beat)
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons of pure vanilla
2 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
Then pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until combined. Allow to cool until room temperature

In a large bowl, swift together
1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
Then add the cooled chocolate mixture into the bowl and stir together. Now, Pour into a 12 X 18 pan.

Bake for about 20 minutes. Once the 20 minutes is up, put a baking sheet over the brownies to prevent air from getting to the brownies and to keep air from getting out. Bake for another 15 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. DO NOT OVER BAKE! let cool before cutting into 20 large beastly squares.
