These really are The Best Dark Chocolate Brownies!! Is there really anything better? The best thing about these is that they take into account both types of brownie lovers. They're just ooey and gooey enough, but not so much to turn away those that prefer a more cakey brownie. They really are exactly in the middle.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F / 177°C and line a 9x13" baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure that the foil comes up over the sides. Grease and flour the foil, then set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda and salt together, mix and set aside.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the butter, vegetable oil, both sugars, the eggs + yolk and vanilla - whisking together well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir together with a wooden spoon until just combined, being careful to not overmix. Gently fold in half of the chocolate chunks.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chunks on top and bake for about 40 - 45 minutes or until the brownies are just set to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before picking up the foil on both side to lift out of the baking dish.
Allow to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. Yum!
