Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and the 200 grams of dark chocolate together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture until fully combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, espresso powder (if using), and salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks or chips to incorporate them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake for maximum fudginess.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang and slicing into squares.
Serve and brace yourself for the dark, damp, deadly richness!
