Instructions
Chocolate brownie
- Preheat the convection oven to 165 °C / 330 °F. Grease a 20×30 cm baking dish with butter so that the baking paper does not move. Then put the baking paper in the baking dish and cut away the edges that protrude above the baking dish with scissors.
- Put the butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar in a (microwave safe) bowl. Place it in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir to combine. Repeat this 2 more times. Let it cool down for a while.170 grams unsalted butter, 150 grams granulated sugar, 130 grams light brown sugar
- Add the eggs and egg yolk one by one, making sure to mix in between each time before adding the next egg.3 large eggs, 1 egg yolk
- Add a pinch of salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract to the brownie mix. Sift the cocoa powder and flour over the brownie mix. Mix all this with a mixer or a whisk. Finally, add the dark chocolate callets.90 grams all-purpose flour, 75 grams cocoa powder, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tsp baking soda, Pinch of salt, 130 grams melt chocolate
- Bake it for 35 minutes in the preheated oven. After that, insert a toothpick in the center of the brownie, when it comes out clean then the brownies are done. Don’t worry if the brownie still feels soft when it comes out of the oven, this will make the brownies much gooey when it cools down (less dry).
- Wait until the brownies have cooled down completely (minimum of 30 minutes). When they have cooled down you can start decorating the brownies
Decorate Halloween brownies
- Now you can go to the fun part - decorating! Wait until the brownies have cooled down completely before decorating. Cut the brownies with a large kitchen knife.
- Melt the chocolate. You can do this by placing the chocolate in a microwave bowl and heating it up for about 60 seconds or melting it au bain Marie. Place the melted chocolate in a container large enough to dip a piece of brownie in.
- Put the chocolate sprinkles in a large bowl large enough to dip a piece of brownie in. Place baking paper on a cutting board to allow the decorated brownies to cool
- Dip the brownie in the melted chocolate. Run a fork over the brownie, making sure the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout. Remove the brownie from the melted chocolate with a fork and place it in the sprinkles container. Spread the sprinkles evenly over the brownie piece
- Place sugar eyes on the brownie. Place the brownie on the baking paper and place two or more sugar eyes on the brownie. Repeat these steps several times until all brownies are decorated.
Notes
Storage - You can store these chocolate brownies wrapped up in aluminum foil in a cold and dark place for up to 7 days. You can also freeze undecorated brownies for up to 3 months.
- Heat up - you can also warm up a brownie in the oven before eating, a warm brownie is always the best.
- Don’t open the oven door for the first 25 minutes. Opening the door will ruin your brownie.
- Doneness - Do the toothpick test to see if your brownies are done. Don’t bake the brownies for too long otherwise, they will become dry. And then they will lose their fudginess.
- Quality ingredients - for simple recipes use high-quality ingredients that give that extra flavor to your bakings. Use high-quality chocolate, cocoa powder, butter, and vanilla extract.
