Description

Indulge in these rich fudgy brownies layered with silky ganache and crunchy toppings for the ultimate chocolate experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Criunchy toppings (like nuts or crushed cookies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt the unsalted butter, then mix in granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
  3. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  7. While the brownies cool, prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream until just below boiling, then pour it over chocolate.
  8. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and sprinkle on your crunchy toppings.
  9. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

For even baking, use a glass or light-colored metal pan. Allow brownies to cool completely for clean cuts.
