I'm slowly working through the recipes I missed before I joined Tuesdays with Dorie and Week 2 of TWD was all about chocolate! Four types of chocolate, in fact. In a brownie. {Actually, the recipe called for 3 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, but I used semi-sweet instead, and it turned out great!}All I really need is love but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt! — Lucy, "Peanuts"
Using the best chocolate I could find (Callebaut) made these brownies taste even better. As well, the crunch from the pecans that I used was a nice contrast to the chocolate.
Recipe
You can find the recipe for Quintuple Chocolate Brownies in the book Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan. To see how a few of the early TWD adopters fared, click Laurie of quirky cupcake, Michelle of Sugar and Spice, and April of Abby Sweets.Yield: This recipe made 24 regular-sized cupcakes.

Tasting NotesThey were the best brownies I've ever tasted! And my nephew and daughters had to earn their brownie by posing for some food photography! In the end, they thought it was worth it! {However, one picked off all the chocolate-coated purple sunflower seeds and gave them to me. Another didn't like the nuts, but I had only put nuts in half the batch so she hunted for one without the offending ingredient. And another wanted hers without frosting! Besides that, they were a huge hit!}

I think irresistible baked goods are worth standing still for some hand modeling!
These look absolutely scrumptious with the white chocolate icing dripping off the side. Mmmmm. And I love the chocolate covered sunflower seeds!
I loved these, too. You CANNOT go wrong with all that chocolate.
You've just reminded me how awesome these brownies were, I made them ages ago and loved them!
This recipe has been near the top of my "to-try" list for a long time. Your brownies are beautiful!

I've been meaning to get around to this recipe, and you've definitely inspired me...I'm brownie bakin' this weekend!
I totally agree on not skimping on using good chocolate, as it definitely makes a huge difference.
Doncha just love picky eaters? I heart them sooooooooo. Amazing brownies. How would a scoop of chocolate ice cream and some hot fudge work on one? Mmmm....
