Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bars

These bars are rich, soft, and fully coated in glossy chocolate. They are perfect for parties, gift boxes, and fridge-friendly desserts.

Ingredients

For the brownie base

  • 1 cup (225g) melted butter
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

For the chocolate coating

  • 3 cups chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (milk or semi-sweet)
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil or 3 tbsp vegetable oil (for smooth, shiny finish)

Instructions

1. Make the brownie batter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Whisk melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Mix just until combined; don’t overmix.
  5. Pour into a greased baking pan and spread evenly.

2. Bake

  • Bake for 22–28 minutes, depending on thickness.
  • The brownies should be soft but set in the center.
  • Let them cool completely.

3. Cut into squares

Once cooled, cut the brownies into small bars (the size shown in your photo).

Freeze for 20 minutes — this helps them stay firm when dipped in chocolate.

4. Prepare the chocolate coating

  1. Melt chocolate + oil in a microwave or double boiler.
  2. Stir until glossy and smooth.

5. Dip each brownie bar

  • Use a fork to dip each square into the melted chocolate.
  • Let excess drip off.
  • Place on parchment paper and let them set.

Tip: If you want a thick glossy finish like in your image, give them two coats.

6. Chill

Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate shell hardens.
