Copycat Ghirardelli Brownies
If you are looking for the fudgy-est, most intensely chocolate brownies you have come to the right place! This recipe is an exact replica of the boxed Ghirardelli brownies we all grew up loving!
Servings: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Ghirardelli cocoa powder
- 8 oz Ghirardelli Bittersweet Baking Bar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and grease and line a 12x8 baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine melted butter, oil, granulated and brown sugar. Whisk to combine. Add in vanilla and eggs and beat for 30 seconds, until the batter becomes a lighter brown.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix lightly until just combined. Roughly chop the chocolate and add in about ¾'s of it (about 1 ½ bars or 6 oz) Gently fold in the chocolate. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle on the rest of the chocolate chunks. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the center no longer jiggles. If you want fudgy brownies, do not over bake! If you prefer cakey brownies, bake for 5-8 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into!
