  1. In a saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter over low heat. Remove the mixture from the heat.Stir in 1-1/3 cups of the sugar and the 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Cool the mixture for 15 minutes. Beat in the 3 eggs and the 3/4 cup flour.

These bars are over-the-top delicious. However, unless you want discolored chocolate chips (aka sugar or fat bloom), do not refrigerate them as the recipe instructs. To make these ahead without discoloration, you'd need to incorporate the chips into the brownie batter or not store them in the refrigerator. And if you are in a hurry, there is no need to let the brownie batter cool that long before adding the eggs and flour.
