Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins and Topping

  • 3 Kit Kat bars, broken into pieces (about 150g total)
  • Optional: Extra chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Gather all your ingredients measured and ready to ensure smooth mixing.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix with Sugar: In a medium saucepan, gently melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until combined and slightly cooled.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract to deepen the flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Add Chocolate and Kit Kat Pieces: Gently fold in half of the chopped Kit Kat bars and any additional chocolate chunks or chips you like, saving the other half for topping.
  6. Bake and Add Topping: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Kit Kat pieces over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps the Kit Kat pieces set nicely and keeps the slices intact.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and fluffier brownies.
  • Don’t overmix to avoid tough brownies; fold dry ingredients gently.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
  • Let brownies cool for at least an hour to let Kit Kat pieces harden for the perfect crunch.
  • Chop Kit Kat bars evenly to distribute crunch throughout the brownies.
