Triple Chocolate Truffle Bars Recipe

How to Make Triple Chocolate Truffle Bars

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides for easy removal.
3. Grease and flour the foil-lined pan.
4. Set aside.
5. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (6 ounces) dark chocolate chips and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
6. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
7. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
8. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, beating on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
9. Gently fold in 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup (3 ounces) dark chocolate chips until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
10. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
12. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
13. While the bars are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache:
14. In a medium heatproof bowl, place 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips.
15. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
16. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it stand for 1 minute.
17. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
18. Let the ganache cool for 5 minutes until it slightly thickens.
19. Once the bars are completely cool, spread the ganache evenly over the top.
20. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted white chocolate over the ganache in a decorative pattern.
21. Use a toothpick or knife to create a design in the white chocolate.
22. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
23. Lift the bars out of the pan using the foil overhang.
24. Cut into bars using a sharp knife.
