Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars: A Decadent Dessert You’ll Make Again and Again
Chocolate-covered brownie bars are the perfect marriage of two beloved treats: rich, fudgy brownies and a smooth, glossy chocolate coating. These bars are indulgent yet practical—easy to slice, neat to serve, and ideal for bake sales, celebrations, or simply satisfying a serious chocolate craving. Unlike traditional brownies, the added chocolate shell gives each bite a satisfying snap followed by a soft, chewy center. Below is a complete, step-by-step guide to making irresistible chocolate-covered brownie bars at home.
Why You’ll Love These Brownie Bars
- Deep chocolate flavor from both the brownie base and the coating
- Perfect texture contrast: fudgy inside, firm and silky outside
- Make-ahead friendly, great for storing and gifting
- Customizable with nuts, caramel, or flavored chocolate
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Brownie Layer
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Coating
- 10 oz (280 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil (for shine and smoothness)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rectangular baking pan (9×13 inches works well) with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides. This makes it easy to lift the brownies out later and cut them into neat bars.
Step 2: Melt the Butter and Mix the Sugars
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter gently. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. The warm butter helps dissolve the sugars, creating a rich, fudgy texture.
