This recipe doubles *beautifully* baked in a sprayed half-sheet pan, no parchment required. The political capital found in homemade brownies knows no bounds; so plan to give away half the batch and sit back and reap the rewards.
Personally I stir in 2/3s of the chips, and sprinkle on the rest after smoothing the batter into the pan with an offset spatula. I also think these are EVEN BETTER the second or third day stored in a sealed container.
This is, by far, one of the best recipes I've ever used. It's totally consistent, everybody loves them, I've won (four?) blue ribbons with them. You will not regret making these.
HI Eric,
I totally agree with you on the doubling for a half sheet pan. This is my go to recipe for bake sales, potlucks, etc. Once the brownies cool, I top with ganache, and leave one 1/4 plain, 1/4 topped with nuts, 1/4 with chocolate sprinkles and 1/4 with colored sprinkles or pearl sugar. Never a crumb left! ~ MaryJane
