Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup dark rum
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 cups dark chocolate chunks or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the dark chocolate chips. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the dark rum and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using dark chocolate chunks or walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve the brownies as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
