Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; substitute with margarine if needed.
  • 8 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Bar Provides deep chocolate flavor; avoid chocolate chips for ganache.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the batter and contributes to moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar Adds flavor and moisture; can substitute with brown sugar or coconut sugar.
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances chocolate flavor; use pure vanilla for best results.

  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free variant.
  • 1/3 cup Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Gives a rich cocoa flavor; alternative is Dutch-process cocoa powder.
  • 1 tsp Espresso Powder Enhances chocolate flavor; omit if unavailable.
  • 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8"x8" metal baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate baking bar. Melt the mixture in 15-second increments until smooth.
  3. Whisk in granulated sugar and light brown sugar until well combined.
  4. Add vanilla extract and large eggs. Whisk together until well mixed.
  5. Fold in all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and fine sea salt until combined.
  6. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  7. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it simmers. Pour over chopped semi-sweet chocolate and stir until smooth.
  8. Let the ganache cool to room temperature, then whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  9. Cut out your brownie bites and pipe the whipped chocolate ganache on top.
