What's a better pairing than red wine and dark chocolate? This recipe for Red Wine Brownies is the ultimate indulgence. They're perfectly fudgey and super chocolaty. The red wine reduction gives them a fruitful flavor unlike any other. Much like having a glass of wine, it's hard to stop yourself at just one. —Grant Melton
Ingredients
-
1 cup
red wine
-
1 1/2
stick of butter
-
8 ounces
dark chocolate chips
-
1 3/4 cups
sugar
-
2
eggs
-
1 1/2 cups
flour
-
1/4 cup
dark cocoa powder
-
1/4 teaspoon

-
1/2 teaspoon

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350.
-
Pour the red wine into a sauce pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Let boil until reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
-
Fill a sauce pot ¼ of the way full with water. Place onto a burner over medium heat. Fit a heat-proof glass bowl or metal bowl over the sauce pot to create a double boiler. Into the bowl, melt together the butter and chocolate chips. Once melted, set aside to cool.
-
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
-
Once the chocolate mixture is cool to the touch, add in the sugar and stir until smooth. Next, add the eggs and whisk to combine. Continue whisking and add in ½ cup of the red wine reduction. Once smooth, add in the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Spray the parchment-lined baking tray with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the batter. Using a rubber spatula, smooth it out a bit. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool.
-
Once cool, lift the brownies out of the pan by the parchment and cut into squares. Dust with some cocoa powder or confectioners’ sugar to serve.
