Prep:10 minutes Total:1hr 

Cooking Spray

1c butter, 2 sticks, i like to use unsalted 

4c chocolate chips (2c semi sweet 2c milk chocolate)

1c granulated sugar 

1/2c brown sugar 

Pinch of Salt 

1/2tbsp vanilla extract

1c all purpose flour 

1/2c cocoa powder or hazelnut spread 

1 1/2 tsp baking powder 

Optional toppings, mini m&m’s, chopped walnuts, sprinkles or anything you can think of! 

Peppermint candy for the holidays? Idk your life

Set your oven to 350 degrees 

To a medium pot over low to medium heat, add the butter and chocolate, mix occasionally until both have melted it shouldnt take longer than 10 minutes, until smooth. You could also melt this in a heat safe bowl in the microwave on 15-30 second intervals mixing in between, until smooth. 

To a large bowl add the sugars, salt, and vanilla, set aside until the chocolate is ready, add the melted chocolate and mix. 

To a small bowl, crack your eggs then whisk like youre preparing a scramble, so a big bowl of yellow and no yolk or clear eggy stuff is remaining. 

Add the eggs to the chocolate mixture and mix, until incorporated and glossy, add the flour, cocoa powder, (or hazelnut spread) baking powder and mix until all the flour is absorbed. 

By now your oven should be up to temp, Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray, then add the batter, spread evenly and top with desired nuts, m&m’s and bake for about 45-50 minutes (this can vary depending on your baking dish) so use the tooth pick trick! Sometimes Ill pull it out 5 minutes before its finished baking - if I know its going to continue to cook in the dish. You can eat this warm, but I promise the flavor settles in when it cools, it will be less bitter from the cocoa, its all about patience! The right one will come along! And if they are cooled they are easier to cut and less messy, just saying. 

Serve with a scoop of your fav ice cream and Enjoy! 

Store in a ziplock or airtight container until eaten, they’ll be gone quick!
