Chocolate Chip Fudge Brownies...and Breast Cancer Awareness!

I have featured my brownies quite a few times since a little over a year ago that I have been blogging...but trust me, this one is so different...so perfect...so chocolaty goodness...fudgy, and oh, so yummy! Really! I kid you not!
Exactly one year ago..give or take a week earlier, or later, I posted my Breast Cancer Awareness Month post, and  linked it back to my sweet food blogger friend, Joanna, from ChicGorgeous  since she had the most gorgeous pink cupcakes posted.

Linking this with Hearth and Soul Blog Hop #69



Chocolate Chip Fudge Brownies
adapted from: Bon Appetit magazine 1999

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet Girardelli chocolate chopped
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup bittersweet Girardelli chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 13x9x2 inch metal baking pan. Stir butter and bittersweet chocolate in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk eggs and 1 1/2 cups sugar in large bowl until pale yellow and light, about 3 minutes. Gradually, whisk in warm chocolate mixture. Whisk in vanilla, then flour. Mix in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake brownies until tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 25 minutes. Cool brownies completely in pan on rack. Cut into squares. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.) Store in airtight container at room temperature. You can sift powdered sugar over the top!

Me and Cara, at Peter's house at  Rosh Hashanah celebration...Oct. 2011
At any rate, I did receive the most beautiful pretty little bracelet from my amazing daughter in-law Cara, whose mother also lost the battle...as did my own mother!

 so beautiful, and absolutely affordable to give as gifts for a tribute to family and friends who lost their battle  with breast Cancer. Check out the beautiful  Chan Luu  Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet!

  28. What a lovely post, Lizzie! First up, these decadent brownies!!! SO beautiful...I'm glad you featured them again so I can put them on my baking list. Bill is currently pleading for Tollhouse cookies again :)

    And thanks for the focus on breast cancer awareness. What a thoughtful daughter in law...I love the idea of these cute bracelets. My MIL is a survivor...a 60 year survivor as she was diagnosed before she was married!

    Have a wonderful week, my friend. xoxo

  31. the brownies...the kugel....sigh, overwhelmingly fantastic!!!! I don't know why all my recent comments haven't been posting lately bella, normally when I hit "post comment" it shows immediately, but lately it just "disappears" - at first I thought maybe you had changed your setting to moderate comments, but then i heard that other people are having problems posting on some blogger sites too :( My MAC crashed a few weeks ago and I've had to use our HP laptop which has a different browser, maybe that's why. I'm using my sister's MAC now :) but I have missed you so. Your Israeli couscous had me in a trance, the colors were so magnificent and I longed for it long after I left your site! Hanging in there in my last 3 weeks of pregnancy (hoping it doesn't last the next 3 weeks) - definitely feeling weary, definitely persevering....sending warm wishes and warm thoughts your way this week, much love sweet bella!

  33. I agree, your brownies do look luscious! I love the photo of you with your daughter-in-law Cara! You have a beautiful family, Elisabeth. Thanks for bringing awareness to this very important cause. I have a sister-in-law going through radiation right now and I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and Cara's mom. I stopped by the website and the bracelet is beautiful - with 50% going to breast cancer research, I'm going to purchase a few for Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing!

  44. Breast cancer is a largely unknown disease until today, despite the fact that it affects almost ten percent of the women above the age of forty years all over the world. The causes of this killer cancer are not known even after decades of research into it.

  46. Millions of women are affected with breast cancer all around the world. Breast cancer is growing like an epidemic and is predicted that 45,000 patients will die from breast cancer, this year. If you feel a solid lump in your breast, you must visit a specialist for consultation.

  47. Breast cancer is the most feared disease amongst women and yet most ladies actually do not know that much about it. This article highlights what women should know but very often don't hear. It will empower them to make informed decisions about how they want to approach their own breast health.
