Ingredients
- 8 oz unsalted butter (2 sticks) diced
- 6 oz dark chocolate roughly chopped
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1¼ cup all-purpose flour (plain flour)
- ½ tsp instant espresso powder
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini salted pretzels divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 4. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Add butter and chocolate to a medium saucepan and melt over low heat.
- Stir in the cocoa powder and whisk to dissolve the cocoa in the warm mixture.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking constantly between each addition.
- Fold in the flour, instant espresso powder, and dark chocolate chips.
- Lightly crush half of the pretzels and fold those into the brownie batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Arrange the remaining pretzels on top of the brownie batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until brownies are mostly set yet slightly gooey in the middle. Start checking doneness at 35 minutes with a toothpick – it should come out clean with moist crumbs and not completely dry.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
