Oh yes—Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars are indulgent, fudgy, and perfect for dessert or a sweet treat! 🍫🍰 Here’s a delicious recipe:
Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars
Ingredients (makes 12 bars):
For the brownies:
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
For the chocolate coating:
- 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smoothness)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 175 °C / 350 °F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make brownies:
- Melt butter in a saucepan or microwave.
- Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake:
- Bake 20–25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let brownies cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare chocolate coating:
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave (30-second intervals, stirring) or in a double boiler until smooth.
- Coat brownies:
- Cut cooled brownies into bars.
- Dip each bar into melted chocolate or pour chocolate over the top, spreading evenly.
- Place on parchment paper and let chocolate set (refrigerate 15–20 minutes for quicker setting).
- Serve:
- Enjoy as a decadent dessert or snack!
Pro tips:
- Sprinkle a little sea salt on top before the chocolate sets for a sweet-salty twist.
- Add nuts, crushed candy, or coconut flakes on top for extra texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for 1 week.
I can also give a no-bake chocolate-covered brownie bar version that sets in the fridge without baking. Do you want that version?
