White Treasure Brownies aka Double Chocolate Chip Brownies are brownies made with melted chocolate chips. This recipe is adapted from one that appeared on a discontinued Nestle product called White Chocolate Treasure baking pieces. They used the White Treasures in place of the 1 cup of chocolate chips that go into the batter. I skipped the white chocolate and just used a full bag of Nestle Toll House chocolate chips.

2cupssemisweet chips (1 bag) divided use(170 grams and 170 grams)
6tablespoonsbutter (I like salted!)(84 grams)
¾cupgranulated sugar(150 grams)
2tablespoonswater
2largeeggs, cold
1teaspoonvanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with foil and grease bottom only.
Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Put 1 cup (6 oz/170 grams) chocolate chips in a heat proof mixing bowl and set next to the stove.
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the sugar and water to the butter and heat mixture over medium just until it starts to boil. Remove from heat and pour hot mixture over the chocolate chips, scraping saucepan to get all sugar mixture (I use a silicone scraper). Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
Add one of the eggs and stir with a heat proof scraper (or whisk) until blended. Add the second egg and stir until blended. Stir in the vanilla.
Add the flour mixture and stir until blended, then beat by hand with the scraper for about 60 seconds. This is to help build structure and chewiness.
If the mixture is very hot, let it cool for about 5 minutes, then add the remaining 1 cup of chips.
Pour mixture into the prepared metal pan and bake at 325 for 35-40 minutes, but check at 30. The brownies may appear done at 30, but in my experience they've always taken at least 35 minutes. The internal temperature should top out at around 200.
Let cool completely, then lift from pan and cut into squares.
Notes
If you use Nestle Dark Chocolate Chips you'll have to buy more than one bag, as a bag is only 10 oz.
