Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate chips and stir until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Dust generously with powdered sugar, creating an even 'snowy' layer on top.
Cut into 12 bars and serve. Enjoy your Snow Topped Holiday Brownie Bars!
