Chocolate-covered brownie bars are rich brownie squares coated in a smooth chocolate shell—almost like a homemade candy bar. 🍫🥮 They’re great for parties, dessert trays, or gifting.
Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 cup (225 g) butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups chocolate chips (dark or milk)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (for smooth coating)
Instructions
1. Bake the Brownies
- Preheat oven to 180 °C / 350 °F.
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Mix melted butter and sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
- Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until set.
- Let cool completely.
2. Cut Into Bars
- Lift brownies from the pan.
- Cut into rectangular bars (like candy bars).
3. Make Chocolate Coating
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler.
- Stir until smooth and glossy.
4. Coat the Brownie Bars
- Dip each brownie bar into the melted chocolate.
- Use a fork to lift it out and let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place on parchment paper.
5. Set the Chocolate
- Refrigerate 20–30 minutes until the coating hardens.
Optional Toppings
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with:
- crushed nuts 🌰
- sea salt 🧂
- sprinkles 🎉
- shredded coconut 🥥
✅ Pro Tip:
Freeze the brownie bars for 15 minutes before dipping—this keeps them firm and makes coating much easier.
