Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter (or coconut oil).
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Alternatively, melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler on low heat, stirring constantly.
Step 5: Coat the Brownies
- Once the brownies have cooled completely, carefully lift them from the pan using the parchment overhang.
- Place them on a cutting board and cut into bars of your preferred size.
- Using a spatula or spoon, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the tops of each brownie bar.
- Optional: Sprinkle with chopped nuts, sea salt, or festive sprinkles for extra texture and visual appeal.
Step 6: Set the Chocolate
- Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature for 1–2 hours.
- For faster results, place the bars in the refrigerator for 30–40 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has set, the bars are ready to enjoy or package as a gift.
Tips for Perfect Brownie Bars
- Use high-quality cocoa: This makes a noticeable difference in flavor.
- Don’t overbake: The key to fudgy brownies is slightly undercooking them.
- Room temperature chocolate: Make sure your brownies are completely cooled before pouring the chocolate, or it may melt unevenly.
- Experiment: Add caramel, peanut butter swirls, or chopped chocolate inside the batter for variety.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a cup of hot coffee for a truly indulgent treat.
