How to make Chocolate Bark Brownies

Prepare the Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cocoa, and sugar until fully combined. Mix in eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition. Add vanilla and mix.

  3. Using a rubber spatula, gently mix in 3/4 cup flour, salt, and baking soda until flour is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. In a small bowl, mix remaining 1 tablespoon flour with chocolate chips and fold into brownie batter.

  5. Spread the batter in the prepared 8×8 baking dish and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and allow brownies to cool completely before adding melted chocolate.

Prepare the Chocolate

  1. Add 1 inch of water to two medium saucepans or pots over low heat. Bring to a very gentle simmer, do not boil.

  2. Place a heat-safe bowl on top of the pot so that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. The steam generated from the water will slowly warm the bowl. Do not allow steam to escape from the pot, if possible.

  3. Add the chocolate to the bowl, the dark chocolate in one bowl and the white chocolate in the other, and gently stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until chocolate is fully melted. Remove from heat.

  4. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave by placing the chocolate in microwave-safe bowls at 50% power for 30-second intervals, stirring after each.

Assemble

  1. Pour the dark chocolate over the cooled brownies and gently use a spatula to spread to the edge of the brownies.

  2. Use a spoon to drop approximately 1 tablespoon of white chocolate onto the dark chocolate in approximately 4-5 evenly-spaced spots and use a sharp knife to gently swirl the dark and white chocolate together. Be careful not to over mix.

  3. With the leftover white chocolate, add 1-2 drops of red food coloring until you get the desired pink color. Repeat the same process with the pink chocolate.

  4. While the chocolate is still wet, gently drop your favorite Easter decorations over the top. You can keep it as simple or as elaborate as you like. Have fun!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Be careful not to overmix the brownie batter to ensure a fudgy texture.

  2. Avoid letting steam escape while melting chocolate to prevent it from seizing.

  3. Use quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
