Valentine’s Day Recipe: SYR’s Signature Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

Serves You Right has had a busy week catering events that have celebrated one of our favorite holidays: Valentine’s Day! We believe that cooking is a true act of love, so we’re sharing an easy and sweet recipe for you to enjoy with that special someone.


Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 35 minutes
Yield: 24 brownies

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, melted
3 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups unsweetened chocolate (we use 64% cacao cocoa extra bitter Guayaquil)
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.

2. In a double boiler, melt chocolate (1 cup) with butter. Pull the butter and chocolate off of the heat once melted.

3. Combine the melted chocolate and butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Fold in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended (be careful not to cook the eggs). 

4. Sift the flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into the egg mixture until blended. Stir in the remaining chocolate (1 cup). Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

5.  Bake in preheated oven until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove, and cool pan on wire rack before cutting.

Happy Valentine's Day!
