These are truly fabulous homemade brownies. What makes them fabulous? The ingredients.

Firstly you have 4 sources of chocolate which makes these brownies have a deep, deep chocolate flavor. There’s 5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, 3 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chips. Choose good quality chocolate for the best results. I use Baker’s unsweetened chocolate and Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate.

A combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour makes the brownies extra tender.

The sugar used in these brownies is superfine instead of granulated. Super-fine is more finely ground and makes for really smooth and tender brownies. It gives almost a fudge-like quality to the brownies. You should be able to find super-fine sugar at your local grocery store or you can order it online. It’s also great for mixed drinks because it dissolves very easily. Granulated sugar can be made into super-fine sugar by processing it in a food processor. Be sure to measure the sugar after you process it. Superfine sugar measures differently since the granules are smaller and take up less space.

Baked in a 9-inch square baking dish, these Bittersweet Chocolate Brownies are wonderfully thick and can be cut into itty bitty squares since they are so rich.

Notes

If you don't have superfine sugar, you can porcess regular granulated sugar in a food processor to turn it into superfine sugar. Be sure to measure the sugar AFTER you process it. It measures very differently since the granules are smaller.
