Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup assorted candy (e.g., pretzels, nuts)
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 later.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 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 the 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the 1 tsp of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt. This will help to eliminate any lumps in the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few small lumps remain.
- Fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of assorted candy (like pretzels and nuts) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as this can lead to dry brownies.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
- After cooling, cut the brownies into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Kitchen Sink Junk Food Brownies!
Tips
- Make sure to use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and more even mixing.
- Sifting the dry ingredients is crucial for preventing lumps and ensuring a consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter – stop stirring as soon as the ingredients are just combined to keep the brownies tender.
- For extra indulgence, try mixing in different types of candy or chocolate chips to customize your brownies.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of your brownies.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to get clean, precise squares.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, if they last that long!
- For an extra decadent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
