The Best Ever Outrageous Brownies
This recipe is the chocolate lovers dream! The Best Brownies Ever are chocolaty, fudgy, soft and melt in your mouth delicious. It is our most requested brownie recipe and I make 2 pans of these and give them as part of our gratitude gifts we hand out each year.
Every year we make a point to take the time to give a gift of homemade goodies and cards to those people who have touched our lives. Family, friends, postal carriers, neighbors and store clerks are all included. You get the idea. One year we had our truck in the shop a lot and the service tech was so helpful that he was on our list that year.
We started this tradition of gratitude gifts 6 years ago and it is possibly my favorite part of the holiday season. Embracing the spirit of giving really sets the season off in the right direction, especially since Munchkin was born. She is in the spirit of giving already and told me "Mommy, we need to help the kids that have no houses because we are vewwy fornuatate (very fortunate)".
DO.I.NEED.TO.TELL.YOU? That was probably the proudest moment of my life. Give me a moment to gush please. {{{gush}}} OK. I'm good now.
Our family and friends are pretty sure they are getting a basket each year and start teasing about what they want in the basket next year, pretty early on. Usually by Easter we are hearing about the Pecan Pie Bars and The Brownies. I can not think of one person that disliked either of these fabulous treats.
I am so excited to finally share our Best Ever Outrageous Brownie recipe with you. They are rich, chocolaty, fudgy and so soft they will melt in your mouth. Made with a truckload of chocolate and a sprinkling of coffee you are going to get the most amazing chocolate taste in these brownies with an incredible depth of flavor that you will not forget.
Get baking. Your loved ones will thank you for it!

prep time: cook time: 35 minstotal time: 35 mins
Ingredients
- 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- unsweetened cocoa, to dust pan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Butter a 12 x 18 x 2-inch baking sheet and dust with cocoa (this keeps the brownies from having a white powdery appearance)
- Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the bittersweet chocolate in a microwave safe medium bowl. Heat in 30 second increments until melted. Stir between each heating. 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.
- Add 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt to a sieve and sift into chocolate mixture.
- Toss the remaining 12 ounces of chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of flour. Add them to the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Half way in between cooking time; rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Use care not to overbake! Allow brownies to cool thoroughly, cut into 48 brownie squares.
- Serve and enjoy!
