Brownies Recipe

So I watch Charlieissocoollike on YouTube all the time, and I just saw Charlie's new video: Cooking With Charlie. During that video, Charlie makes his Great Great Great Grandmother, Gertrude McDonnell's Super Secret recipe for brownies! Click the thing below to watch charlie make the brownies! It may help you follow along!

So I decided to try to follow all his instructions and make some brownies! 
 Well, here is the recipe: (some things may be different than Charlie's)

Ingredients: 
-8 oz  of Ghirardelli's Milk Chocolate Chips
-6 oz of Ghirardelli's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
-3/4 cup of unsalted butter
-1 1/2 cups of sugar
-1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
-4 large eggs
-1 cup of flour
-1 teaspoon of salt
-some powdered sugar  


Directions: 
Step One: Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Turn the stove on medium-high heat, with a pot. Fill the pot with an inch or two of water and rest a medium sized bowl on top of the pot. When the water starts to boil, reduce heat and put the milk chocolate and butter in the bowl. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
Part Two: Turn off stove and remove the bowl of chocolate and let it cool for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract, the sugar, the eggs, the salt and the flour.  Once completely stirred, put in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, or if you wanted to, you could try peanuts, rice crispy cereal,or almonds!
Part Three: Line a baking tray with butter or flour, then pour in the chocolaty mixture. Then, you should smooth it until it is all level. Put it in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until it has risen and looks dry. Take out the brownies and evenly sprinkle powdered sugar on the brownies. I also put some sprinkles on top. Cut into 16 pieces and enjoy!
