GIANT BROWNIE SNACK CAKE

Steps:

• For the brownie cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
• Melt the semisweet chocolate chips and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in both sugars; cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla until smooth. Stir in the flour and salt until just smooth and combined (do not overmix).
• Add the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly with an offset or rubber spatula. Bake until the top is glossy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, about 50 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
• For the ganache and decorating: Put the semisweet chocolate chips and cream in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownie and spread into an even, smooth layer. Sprinkle immediately with the candy-coated chips. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the outer ring to unmold the cake. Cut into slices and serve.

THE BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or pan, then line with parchment paper if desired to make getting the brownies out easier.
• Mix flour and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
• Place chopped chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan with 1 inch of very gently simmering water. When the butter and almost all of the chocolate is melted, stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Mix sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until very airy, thick, and creamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract, then slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate mixture, while mixing on high speed.
• Dump in the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out virtually clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lightly press down the higher parts of the brownie around the edge of the dish. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before removing and cutting into 9 pieces.

THE BROWNIE THAT STARTED IT ALL A.K.A THE WORLD'S BEST BROWNIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a 13 by 9-inch pan with vegetable oil spray.
• In a glass or ceramic bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Whisk in the sugar, eggs, cocoa, and vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt. Add chopped semisweet and bittersweet chocolates and pecans.
• Spread the batter in prepared pan. Bake about 25 minutes, just until brownies test moist but not wet. Cool completely before cutting.

OUTRAGEOUS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
• Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
• In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.
