Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips (divided )
- ½ cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 2 large egg whites (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 Tablespoon water
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips or dark chocolate melting wafers (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375F/190C and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- 2
In large, microwave safe bowl, combine butter and 1 cup (170g) of chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir well. Return to microwave and heat for 15 seconds at a time (stirring after every 15 seconds) until chocolate and butter are completely melted and combined.
- 3
Stir in cocoa powder and then sugar (mixture may be thick, that's OK).
- 4
Add egg whites and vanilla extract, stir well.
- 5
In separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- 6
Gradually stir flour mixture into chocolate mixture until completely combined.
- 7
Stir in milk and water until evenly combined.
- 8
Divide the batter between the two prepared cookie sheets, pouring half onto one sheet and half onto the other.
- 9
Use a spatula to spread the batter very thinly (think the thickness of a potato chip) and evenly (try to keep the edges even, otherwise they will be more likely to burn). Sprinkle each half with 2 Tablespoons (22g) of the remaining chocolate chips.
- 10
Bake (it's best to bake the sheets one at a time) for 15-17 minutes. Keep a close eye on the brownie brittle so that the edges don't burn. If your oven does not bake evenly, I recommend turning the pan halfway through baking.
- 11
Remove from oven and immediately use a large knife or pizza cutter to cut shapes into the brownie brittle.
- 12
Allow the brittle to sit, undisturbed, until cool.
- 13
Break brittle along the cut lines that you made with knife/pizza cutter.
- 14
Set pieces on wax paper or cooling rack and melt your dark chocolate chips or melting wafers at 15-second increments (stirring between each) until completely melted.
- 15
Use a spoon or knife to drizzle chocolate over brownie brittle pieces (you may also transfer the melted chocolate to a small ziploc bag and snip a small hole in one of the corners and drizzle the chocolate that way).
- 16
Allow the chocolate to set and harden before serving and enjoying.
