Description
Rich, fudgy brownies with green food coloring for a spooky look.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Green food coloring (gel preferred)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat.
- Stir the sugar into the melted butter until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add several drops of green food coloring until the batter reaches a desired green hue. Stir gently to incorporate.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For extra color, you can swirl a small amount of extra green food coloring on top before baking.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
- Cooling completely makes cutting cleaner squares easier.
