My favorite go-to for chocolate chunks are the German chunks sold at Aldi. They are way cheaper than those sold at other stores, but the quality is high. (I’m a major Aldi fan. They have one of the best cheese selections around, too!)

If you want to make these have a neat presentation, slice off the edges. Then eat those edges, because they can’t go to waste.

Equipment

  • 9×13 dish
  • aluminum foil
  • uneven spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 6 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl or in a pot on the stovetop, melt together the butter and dark chocolate until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven at 325-degrees. Line a 9×13 pan with foil and apply nonstick spray or butter.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Return to the large container with the melted butter and chocolate. Stir in the sugar until no white streaks remain. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chunks.
  • Pour batter into the prepared dish. Use an uneven spatula to spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chunks over the top.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the middle passes the toothpick test. Set on a rack to cool for at least an hour, speeding process in fridge if desired. Use foil to lift contents onto a cutting board to slice up. Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
