Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 cup Butter Adds richness and moisture; substitute with margarine for dairy-free.

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; substitute with gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Central to chocolate flavor; use unsweetened.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; no substitutions recommended.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Adds delightful pockets of melted chocolate; use semi-sweet or dark.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup of butter and mix with 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and finish with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack before adding toppings.
  7. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
  8. Optionally, add gel food coloring to the melted chocolate and spread it over the brownies. Decorate with sprinkles and mini candy eggs.
  9. Once the topping has cooled and set, cut the brownies into squares using a sharp knife warmed in hot water.
