Ingredients
- 200 g, chopped Marabou milk chocolate bars
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 200 g chopped Marabou milk chocolate bars and 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Step 2: Stir in 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then whisk in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift together 3/4 cup (90 g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Step 5: While brownies bake, prepare glaze: heat 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Pour over 1/4 cup (40 g) chopped Marabou chocolate and stir until smooth.
- Step 6: Once brownies are cooled, spread the chocolate glaze evenly on top. Let set before slicing and serving.
