Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 16 brownies
Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
7. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before cutting into squares.
8. Enjoy your Double Chocolate Brownies with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!

Helpful Tips

• For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies; they will continue to set as they cool.
• Feel free to use semi-sweet or milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate based on your preference.
• Add a handful of chopped nuts or a swirl of peanut butter to the batter for a delightful twist.

Storage Instructions

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Substitute coconut oil for butter for a dairy-free version.
• Use gluten-free flour to make these brownies suitable for a gluten-free diet.

Pairings

These Double Chocolate Brownies pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of salted caramel. For a beverage, try them with a steaming mug of hot chocolate or a refreshing glass of cold brew coffee.
