Melt semisweet chocolate bulk chunks and unsweetened chocolate with butter in a microwavable bowl or double boiler.

Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.

Add an entire bag of chocolate chips to the dry mix and toss to combine.

Chop 3 cups of walnuts, sift them in a strainer to remove powdery bits, and fold them into the flour mixture with the chocolate chips.

In a large bowl, crack 7 large eggs and add granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of espresso powder (optional). Whisk until combined.

Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture and whisk together until well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly with a small offset spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, checking with a toothpick for a few moist crumbs.
