Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 180 grams dark chocolate chips
- 395 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 units large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with butter or cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until smooth. Let it cool slightly before whisking in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition until smooth and glossy.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula. Reserve the other half for later.
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in short intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
Once the chocolate is melted, whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated. This will form the gooey chocolate layer.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the batter layer in the baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Dollop the remaining batter on top of the chocolate layer, then gently spread it out to cover most of the surface. A few gaps are fine, as they’ll create a marbled look after baking.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. For best results, refrigerate for about 1 hour to firm up before slicing.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy your decadent Chocolate Gooey Bars!
