Cookie Bars - Brownies 

Perfectly moist but not gooey! Bake in aluminum pans for even baking.

This recipe is quite durable and less crumbly. I like the candy-like chewyness.

In 4 qt pot melt:
2 pounds (8 sticks) unsalted butter

32 oz unsweetened chocolate bar

In bosch bowl with wire whips mix:
16 eggs
1/4 c vanilla

Mix in:
84 oz (5.25 lb) sugar

Mix in:
4 oz (1 c) baking cocoa
This will fill the bowl.

In the very large tupperware bowl mix the cooled chocolate mixture and the egg mixture together.

Mix together then stir in:
40 oz (8 c) white flour

Thoroughly stir the flour into the batter. It takes some muscle and patience, but the staggering amount of brownies is worth it!
This is more cake-like and delicate.
