Directions: |
Directions:1) Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a heavy weight 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.
2) In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and sugar and melt in the microwave for 30-second increments stirring occasionally, until the butter is completely melted, and the mixture is smooth. (It took me about 2-minutes of microwaving.) Alternatively, you can melt these together over a double boiler on the stove.
3) Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously to combine. Add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir, just until combined.
4) Fold in the chocolate chips and spread the batter into the prepared Pan. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center only comes out with moist sticky clumps. Allow it to cool prior to cutting. |

Jenn and I have been best friends for 10 years now as I'm writing this, and hopefully many more to come, we've been through it all as friends; between toxic boyfriends, drunken tomfoolery and the butter incident...we faced it all together.
You may be asking what the butter incident is??? Well, it's a quick little story but Jenn and I still laugh about it to this day. We were hungry and craving something sweet one night hanging out, so we went to Walmart and got the Ghirardelli brownie mix box and some ice cream. We headed back to her house and got started prepping the ingredients. Here's where we messed up, we saw on the box next to butter these little lines, no numbers, just 6 little lines next to a picture of butter. We saw that and thought it meant six STICKS of butter, not 6 tablespoons. We thought that weas odd but being that neither of us really cooked at the time we didn't dwell on it and just tossed all the butter we had in the pan and cooked it. Big mistake...what we ended up doing was deep frying some chocolate chips in butter and making a hug mess of mom's oven. To this day we still joke ab out BUTTERGATE and remember the simpler times when we were just dumb teenagers with a sweet tooth.
Try our reinvented recipe, that we have named in honor of Buttergate.
