How to Make Velvet Fudge Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth and combined.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (it should not be completely clean).
  10. Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the warm brownies.
  11. Let the chips sit for a minute to melt slightly, then spread them evenly across the brownies using a knife or spatula.
  12. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy chilled!
