Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars

These decadent brownie bars are made using an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan for ideal thickness. The result is a brownie that holds its shape for dipping while staying rich and fudgy inside.

Ingredients

Brownies

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Coating

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 to 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional, for shine)

Optional Add-Ins

1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

Step 1: Make the batter
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line your baking pan with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, stirring until the mixture looks light and glossy. Gently mix in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just incorporated.

Step 2: Bake the brownies
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20–25 minutes.
Tip: The center should remain slightly soft—check for moist crumbs on a toothpick rather than a completely clean one.

Step 3: Cool and chill
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan, then transfer them to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour so they firm up for dipping.

Step 4: Slice into bars
Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 12–16 evenly sized bars.

Step 5: Coat with chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Dip each brownie bar into the melted chocolate, lift it out with a fork, let the extra chocolate drip off, and place it back onto parchment paper.

Step 6: Let them set
Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating hardens.
