Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cubed)
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (whisked)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 6-8 Kit Kat bars
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: Place butter cubes and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring every 15-30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix Batter: Stir in the granulated sugar, whisked eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually whisk in the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Spread First Layer: Pour and evenly spread about half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface.
- Layer Kit Kats: Arrange a layer of whole Kit Kat bars on top of the batter. Press lightly to ensure they stick; trim the bars as needed to fit evenly across the surface.
- Add Remaining Batter: Spoon the remaining batter over the Kit Kat layer in dollops. Spread it gently to cover all the bars evenly.
- Sprinkle Chopped Kit Kats: Finely chop the remaining Kit Kat bars and sprinkle them over the top of the batter for a crunchy topping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out easily. Cut into 8 squares and serve.
Notes
- For best texture, do not overbake; remove brownies when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- You can substitute Kit Kat bars with your favorite chocolate wafer bars if preferred.
- Make sure the butter and chocolate are fully melted and combined smoothly to avoid grainy texture.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
