It helps enhance the flavor of the chocolate without adding an intense coffee flavor. You can buy chocolate chunks in the baking aisle at most grocery stores, or you can buy bars of chocolate and chop them into chunks for yourself. Be sure you don’t over bake the brownies! They should not be liquid when you pull them out of the oven, but don’t be afraid if they have a little jiggle in the middle. The brownies will firm up as they cool. Over baked brownies will not be fudgy.
