How to Make Chocolate Snack Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
