My family calls these bars the world's chocolatiest brownies and is more than happy to gobble up a batch whenever I make them. They're a deliciously merry part of our Christmas cookie collection. -Jackie Archer, Clinton, Iowa Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
1/3 cup butter, cubed |
2 tablespoons water |
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
2 tablespoons shortening |
chopped pecans, jimmies and/or nonpareils, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, butter and water to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and vanilla until smooth. Cool for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; add to chocolate mixture. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
2. Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 325° for 35 minutes or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
3. Place in the freezer for 30-40 minutes or until firm (do not freeze completely). Cut into bars.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Using a small fork, dip brownies to completely coat; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with pecans, jimmies and/or nonpareils if desired. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 dozen.
