Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Brownie Base
Melt butter and mix with sugar. Add eggs and vanilla until glossy. Fold in dry ingredients just until combined—don’t overmix or you’ll lose that fudgy texture.
Step 2: Bake
Spread the batter in a lined pan and bake until the center is set but still slightly soft. The moment the kitchen starts smelling like rich chocolate heaven… you’re close!
Step 3: Cool Completely
Let the brownies cool fully—cold brownies are easier to cut into perfect bars.
Step 4: Slice
Cut into bars or squares, depending on how large you want them.
Step 5: Dip in Chocolate
Melt chocolate (with a teaspoon of coconut oil if desired). Dip each brownie piece, letting excess drip off, then place onto parchment to set.
Step 6: Chill & Enjoy
Refrigerate 10–15 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Then try—just try—not to eat three at once!
