Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars

To make these rich Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars, use the measurements below for an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan. These proportions give you brownies that are firm enough to dip, yet perfectly fudgy inside.

Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars

Ingredients:

For the Brownies
Unsalted butter (melted) – 1/2 cup (1 stick)
Granulated sugar – 1 cup
Large eggs – 2
Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour – 1/2 cup
Unsweetened cocoa powder – 1/3 cup
Salt – 1/4 teaspoon

For the Chocolate Coating
Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips – 1 1/2 cups
Coconut oil (optional, for a glossy finish) – 1 to 2 teaspoons

Optional Add-ins
Chocolate chips or chopped nuts – 1/2 cup

How to Make Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars:

Step 1: Prepare the Batter
Preheat oven to 350°F and line your pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until the batter becomes pale and glossy. Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt just until combined.

Step 2: Bake
Spread the batter evenly into the pan and bake for 20–25 minutes.
Tip: The center should still be slightly fudgy—look for moist crumbs on a toothpick rather than a clean result.

Step 3: Chill Completely
Let brownies cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them firm up so they won’t fall apart when dipping.

Step 4: Cut into Bars
Lift the chilled brownies out using the parchment and slice into 12–16 even bars.

Step 5: Dip in Chocolate
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in short intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, lift with a fork, let excess drip off, and place on parchment.

Step 6: Set
Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate coating is firm.
