Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 75 grams chopped walnuts
- 75 grams chopped dark chocolate
- 100 grams crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, chopped dark chocolate, and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out with a spatula to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, then slice into 12 equal pieces.
Serve and enjoy your Chunky Chocolate Bars! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
