Preheat your oven to 180℃/350℉ (160℃/320℉ for fan and convection ovens) and line an 8x10-inch tin with baking paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and the butter together over low heat on the stove then set aside to cool for around 5 minutes.
Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract to a large bowl then use an electric whisk to mix it for a few minutes, until pale and silky.
Add the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the sugar and eggs then gently fold together.
Add the flour and cocoa powder then mix gently until well combined. Then stir in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the mixture to your lined tin and spread it out evenly.
Bake for around 25-30 minutes, until the brownie has risen and is pulling away from the tin slightly. It should look fully cooked on top with a slight wobble in the middle.
Let the brownie cool to room temperature then transfer to the fridge overnight to set or freeze for 4 hours.
