The secret to the decadently rich and intense chocolate flavor of these brownies isDutch-process cocoa powder.
The more neutral cocoa yields a darker, richer chocolate flavor in comparison to natural varieties.
And it can be found in most grocery store baking aisles right next to the regular stuff.
