The second December starts, I move right into Christmas mode, decorating, buying and wrapping gifts and, of course, baking.

Although I always make truffles this year I thought I would make Truffle brownies using a recipe I found on the back of a bag of Guittard extra-dark chocolate chips.

Since you know I love fudgy brownies, these did not disappoint me at all! In fact, I was completely satisfied with the rich truffle-like texture.

How to Make Guittard Truffle Brownies

This recipe is orginally from Guittard.

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and pre-heat to 325.
  2. Line an 8 inch square pan with aluminum foil leaving the edges long enough to use as handles to lift out the brownies after they bake.
  3. In a medium pan, melt the chocolate, butter and water and stir until smooth.
  4. With a wooden spoon beat in the sugar, salt and vanilla.
  5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until smooth and glossy.
  6. Stir in the flour until just combined.
  7. Spread the batter into the pan and bake 35-40 minutes or until a crust forms on the top. The center of the brownies will be moist when tested with a toothpick.
  8. Do NOT OVER BAKE.
  9. Place pan on a rack and cool for 3 hours or overnight.
  10. Remove brownies from pan and cut into 16 squares.
  11. Enjoy!
