Ingredients Needed:

- 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
How To Cook Chuckwagon Brownies :
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 sticks of butter until just bubbling, then remove from heat.
- Mix sugars and chocolate: Whisk in the granulated sugar and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the bittersweet chocolate and stir until melted.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and a pinch of kosher salt until well incorporated.
- Transfer to the pan: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the chopped semisweet chocolate over the top.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the center is just set.
- Cool and cut: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then cut into 16 pieces or your preferred size.
Recipe Tips
- Use room temperature eggs: Cold eggs can affect the texture of your brownies. Make sure they’re at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.
- Don’t overbake: Take the brownies out when they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry, so check them at the 22-minute mark.
- Melt chocolate slowly: When adding the bittersweet chocolate to the melted butter, stir it slowly off the heat to prevent burning or seizing.
- Sift the cocoa powder:This will help you avoid lumps and give you a smoother brownie texture.
- Cool completely before cutting: If you cut the brownies while they’re still warm, they’ll crumble. Let them cool completely for clean, neat slices.
