Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Oven
- Large Pot
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips about 2/3 cup
- 1 1/2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 3/4 cup Butterfinger pieces
- 3 oz mini chocolate chips about 1/2 cup, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×9 square glass baking dish with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a double boiler, melt the butter, chocolate chips, and unsweetened baking chocolate. Stir occasionally until completely smooth and melted. Remove from heat and cool 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, stir eggs, vanilla, and sugar (do not beat). Pour in warm chocolate butter mixture and stir. Set aside to cool to room temperature, another 15 minutes or so.
- Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. In a separate bowl, stir Butterfinger pieces with mini chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of flour. Pour into batter and stir.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Rap pan against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 10 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into squares.
Notes
- Tip 1: To keep your brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Tip 2: Yes, you can freeze these brownies! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. They should be fine for up to three months.
- Tip 3: These brownies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
- Tip 4: Cut the brownies into smaller squares for parties or events to make them more shareable.
- Tip 5: Try adding chopped nuts or different types of chocolate chips for added flavor. The possibilities are endless!
