8th Floor Iron Chef: Winning Recipe

Hi there, everyone! This is Sean Chumley, 8th Floor Representative, SOLID Social Committee Member, and Iron Chef. My RAs (Jake and Angie) recently sponsored an Iron Chef competition, and here I am, the big winner, ready to share with all of you! Enjoy!

Raspberry Rainbow Brownies
2 0z Dark chocolate
2 oz Bittersweet chocolate
4 oz Semisweet chocolate
1 stick butter, cut into 8 pieces, plus more for buttering baking dish
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8"x8" square glass baking pan.

2. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, dark, bittersweet, and semisweet chocolates, stirring occasionally to combine. Allow to cool slightly after melted and combined.

3. Combine sugars in a large bowl. Add butter and chocolate mix. Whisk together to combine.

4. Whisk in eggs one at a time, stirring to combine. Add vanilla.

5. Stir in flour. Mix until well combined. A "spoonula" works well for this, but a whisk will suffice.

6. Add milk chocolate chips and raspberry jam, stirring to mix throughout. The final consistency will be slightly thicker than cake batter.

7. Pour batter into pre-greased baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean (if you poke through a chocolate chip, try again).
