Ingredients

For the Fudgy Brownie Base

• 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter
• 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp salt

For the Chocolate Topping

• 12 oz (340 g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil or coconut oil (for a smooth glossy finish)

 Step-by-Step Directions

1. Make the Fudgy Brownie Base

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar while mixture is still warm.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
5. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold into the batter gently — don’t overmix.
6. Pour batter into the pan and bake 28–32 minutes, until the center is set but still soft.
7. Let the brownies cool completely before adding the topping.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Shell

1. Melt the chocolate chips with the oil using a microwave (20-second intervals) or double boiler.
2. Stir until smooth, shiny, and lump-free.
3. Pour over the cooled brownies and spread evenly with a spatula.
4. Refrigerate 20–30 minutes until the topping firms up.

3. Slice & Serve

Using a warm knife, cut into clean, sharp bars.
Enjoy the perfect crack of the chocolate shell followed by an ultra-fudgy center.

 Tips for Perfect Brownie Bars

• Don’t overbake → fudgy brownie success depends on a slightly soft center.
• For thicker bars, use an 8×8 pan.
• Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chunks for extra texture.
• Store in the fridge for 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
