¼cupcocoa powder
¼teaspoonbaking soda
¼teaspoonsalt
¼cup(½ stick) butter, cut into cubes
6ouncessemi-sweet chocolate(1 cup of chips)
2large eggs
1cupgranulated sugar
¼cupvegetable oil
1teaspoonvanilla extract
⅓cupmini 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.
