Ingredients

4 ounces Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Bar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
2 Chop baking bar into 1-inch pieces; transfer to top of a double boiler or a heatproof bowl.
3 Add butter to chopped chocolate; place pan or bowl over barely simmering water. Melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove pan from heat; let cool to room temperature.
4 Stir brown sugar and vanilla into melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs; mix well.
5 Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together into a bowl; slowly fold into melted chocolate mixture, until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips; pour into the prepared pan.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven; cool at least 10 minutes before cutting into 2-inch squares.
