- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp (141 g) Salted Butter, melted
- 1 cup (207 g) Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tsp (12 g) Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup (114 g) Milk Chocolate Chips, melted
- ¾ cup (99 g) All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup (25 g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ½ tsp (2.8 g) Salt
- 1 cup (175 g) Milk Chocolate Chips
- Optional Additional Add-Ins (chopped nuts, chopped candy, etc.)
- Optional Additional Toppings (extra chocolate chips, chopped nuts, caramel, etc.)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
Pour melted butter into large mixing bowl. Whisk in sugar by hand until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk about a minute.
Whisk in melted chocolate by hand until combined.
Add flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix until just combined.
Stir in whole chocolate chips and additional add-ins (optional).
Pour into pan and smooth out. (Optional - Add chopped nuts or caramel sauce on top.)
Bake for 30 minutes or until middle is set and starts to crackle on top. Inserted toothpick should come out with a small amount of chocolate.
Optional - Add additional chocolate chips on top.
Let cool in pan for 30 minutes before cutting.
- An aluminum pan will give you a crispier crust. If using a glass pan, you may need to increase bake time by about 5 minutes.
- You can also use an 8x8 pan, but it'll make the batter thicker and will need a longer bake time.
