chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate has less sugar and is richer in flavor.

Melt 6 ounces of butter and 600 grams of chocolate chips together until smooth.

In a separate bowl, mix 3/4 cup of cake flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk, and 1 cup of sugar until well combined and slightly airy.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix well.

Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture while stirring to temper the eggs.

Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate-egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Add 3 ounces of chopped walnuts and 3 ounces of chopped 90% cocoa chocolate, folding them in gently.

Add about 1/4 cup of chopped Heath bar to the mixture and fold in gently.

Prepare a 7x7 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and optionally spraying it with cooking spray.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle additional chocolate and Heath bar pieces on top of the batter.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.

Let the brownies rest for 30-45 minutes before cutting them.
