Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 8 oz Bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.75 cup Sour cream
- 0.75 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate over low heat. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in the sour cream until smooth and uniform. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
