Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 9 x 9 x 2 inch pan.

Refrigerate the chunks of chocolate candy for 20 minutes.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt onto waxed paper.

Whisk the melted butter and melted chocolate until smooth. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, about 15 seconds. Add the sugar and whisk until combined, about 30 seconds. Blend in the vanilla extract and melted butter-chocolate mixture. Sift the flour mixture over and stir to form a batter, mixing thoroughly until the particles of flour are absorbed. Carefully stir in the chunks of candy.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Let the brownies stand in the pan on a cooling rack for 2 hours. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
