Answer 2

From Scratch Brownies (death by Chocolate):

45 min 45 min prep
1 9x13pan

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate
10 ounces butter
3 eggs
9 ounces sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 ounces bread flour

1. Melt the two chocolates and the butter together in a double boiler.
2. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
3. Mix the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla together until well blended, but do not whip.
4. Whipping to a foam creates more leavening and results in a crumbly brownie.
5. If the eggs are not at room temperature, stir the mixture over a hot bath just until the mixture is at a slightly warm room temperature.
6. Blend in the chocolate mix.
7. Sift the flour and fold in.
8. Pour into a 9" x 13" pan.
9. Bake at 325 degrees F for 45-50 minutes.

if you go to chsugars.com and look for brown sugar brownies, they have a great texture and flavor. They also have very many other recipes for brownies that are yummy. The link below will take you to the search results for all the brownie recipes at C&H sugar website.
