Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup (½ stick) butter, cut into cubes
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (1 cup of chips)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
- optional, 2-3 tablespoons holiday sprinkles
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Grease an 11 X 18-inch rimmed baking tray with butter or baking spray and line with a piece of parchment paper.
-
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave on high power for 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted. Or melt in a double boiler on the stove set over low heat.
-
Let cool slightly, so it’s no longer hot to the touch.
-
Whisk the eggs until blended then, sprinkle in the sugar, and whisk for one minute until pale yellow.
-
Stir in the melted butter and chocolate mixture, the vegetable oil, and vanilla.
-
Then, stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
-
Spread the brownie batter onto the prepared pan. Leave about an inch of space around the edge of the pan for the brownie to spread.
-
Sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips and top with the holiday sprinkles if using.
-
Bake for 20-24 minutes until the edges of the brownie look set and the center no longer looks wet. If you prefer crispier brownie brittle, bake for a few extra minutes.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownie brittle cool completely for about an hour on the baking tray.
-
Then, break the brownie brittle into pieces and enjoy.
