Yield Makes about 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

For brownie
2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts
For topping
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Baker's), chopped

Steps:

  • Make brownie:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly-roll pan. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Combine sugar, eggs and salt in heavy large saucepan. Whisk constantly over low heat just until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Whisk in chocolate mixture and vanilla. Whisk in flour and nuts. Spread batter in pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs still attached, about 30 minutes. Cool brownies completely in pan on rack.
  • Make topping:
  • Stir semisweet chocolate in top of double boiler over barely simmering water until smooth. Remove from over water. Spread over brownie.
  • Stir white chocolate in top of double boiler over barely simmering water until smooth. Spoon into resealable plastic bag. Cut very tip off 1 corner of bag. Pipe lines of white chocolate crosswise atop brownie, spacing lines 1 inch apart. Draw a toothpick lengthwise across lines, alternating direction from left to right and right to left, to create marbled pattern. Chill just until firm enough to cut, about 30 minutes. Cut into small squares. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Refrigerate in single layer in airtight containers. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • Prepare the Ingredients Accurately: Measure the ingredients precisely using measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions. Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature unless otherwise specified in the recipe.
  • Melt the Chocolate Properly: To prevent the chocolate from seizing or burning, use a double boiler or microwave method to melt the chocolate gently. Stir the chocolate continuously until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
  • Use Quality Chocolate: The quality of the chocolate used significantly impacts the final outcome of the glaze. Choose high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% for a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Add Flavor Enhancers: Experiment with different flavorings to enhance the taste of the glaze. Popular options include vanilla extract, cinnamon, espresso powder, or even a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
  • Adjust the Consistency: If the glaze is too thick, add a small amount of milk or cream to thin it out. Conversely, if it's too thin, simmer the glaze over low heat for a few minutes to reduce and thicken it.
  • Use the Glaze Promptly: Chocolate glaze tends to set quickly, so use it as soon as it's prepared. If you need to store it, place it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, then reheat gently before using.
