Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted butter-chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the sliced almonds and dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the baking pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice into 12 squares (or desired number of pieces) and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
