Chocolate Dipped Brownies Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + freezing Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Yield: 36 Servings

30 35 65

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons water
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons shortening
Chopped pecans, jimmies and/or nonpareils, optional

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, butter and water to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and vanilla until smooth. Cool for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; add to chocolate mixture. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 325° for 35 minutes or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Place in the freezer for 30-40 minutes or until firm (do not freeze completely). Cut into bars.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Using a small fork, dip brownies to completely coat; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with pecans, jimmies and/or nonpareils if desired. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 dozen.

The brownies were excellent but I had a hard getting the chocolate to flow nicely and not break the brownies.

These are dangerous! I can only make them for special occasions where I know there will be lots of people around to eat them. Otherwise I'd eat the whole pan by myself!
