Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Kit Kat bars, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar. Stir until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and fudgy.
- Fold in 1 cup of chopped Kit Kat bars into the brownie batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Layer the remaining chopped Kit Kat bars on top of the batter in the pan, distributing them evenly.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the Kit Kat layer, spreading it gently to cover the candy.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Kit Kat stuffed brownies!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and more even mixing.
- Don't overmix the batter – this can lead to tough, dense brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For extra indulgence, use high-quality cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Let the brownies cool completely for cleaner, more precise cuts.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- If you want gooier brownies, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
- Chop the Kit Kat bars into uniform pieces for even distribution throughout the brownie.
