For my birthday, in November of 2009, Leigh sent me the Williams Sonoma Chocolate Bar Brownie Pan. Unfortunately, the pan is no longer available because Hershey sued them over it. I think they could have at least made it available themselves because it is an awesome pan.
The pan itself is 12 x 6, but it has separation between the bars and we think - although we haven't tested it - that it would work just fine in a 9 x 9.
This is what the brownies look like when baked in this pan -
Here's the recipe -
Chocolate Bar
Brownies
Ingredients:
5 oz bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces (Leigh suggests 1/2 milk & 1/2 bittersweet)
10 tbs. (1 ¼ sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
¾ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 ¼ cups sugar
3 eggs
1 ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Grease your pan thoroughly (we use baking spray).
Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and
microwave until melted, about 1 ½ minutes, stirring once. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking
powder and salt until combined. Set
aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs and vanilla
until well combined. Add the chocolate
mixture and whisk until incorporated.
Whisk in the flour mixture until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread
evenly. Gently tap the pan on the
counter to release any air bubbles. Bake
until the top is shiny and a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies
comes out with a few crumbs attached. 35
to 40 minutes.
Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes.
WARNING: These brownies will spoil all brownie mixes for you - Forever!
Leigh's friend Christine came over and she fell in love with the brownies.
YUM! Two Thumbs Up!

YUM! I love brownie and I so wish I had seen that pan before they stopped selling it. Thanks so much for sharing on the Our Favorite Things Link Party.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
They are definitely prettier with the pan, but a 9x9 works just as well and they taste exactly the same. Promise! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOh yum! So I guess every brownie tastes like an edge piece? This makes me want to make some right this minute!
ReplyDeleteYes, they do! Which makes them extra awesome because you get that little crisp of an edge piece and then the soft chocolaty center! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWell, I have several SERIOUSLY GOOD brownie recipes, but I'm going to give this one a try! I'll let you know how it stacks up! Thanks for joining the party this week.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. Brownies are one of my favorites. Love the pan.
