Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
8 full-size Kit Kat bars, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until glossy and well combined.
4. Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
7. Arrange the chopped Kit Kat bars over the top and press them in lightly.
8. Bake for 28 to 34 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has moist crumbs.
9. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added or the brownies can turn less fudgy.
Let the brownies cool fully before slicing so the chocolate topping sets nicely.
For cleaner cuts, chill the brownies for 20 minutes and wipe the knife between slices.
