@Lisa Hi, Erica said she made this recipe with baking chocolate chips, which are lightly sweetened. We both thought the chocolate was up to your individual interpretation and desired levels of sweet/bitter and that whatever level of sweetness in your chocolate your brownies won’t be ruined.

Is the 1/2 cup of melted dark chocolate unsweetened?

I made these brownies, wow! The only thing I didn’t add was the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, I thought it would be overkill. I think I was right. I roasted 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, mmmmmmhh! They were devoured by the family. The umami salt flavor is subtle, just makes them very more-ish! This recipe is a keeper.
