Make rich, chewy brownie bars studded with pieces of Kit Kat candy bars for an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 standard size Kit Kat bars, unwrapped and roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the brownies fudgy.
  6. Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Sprinkle half of the chopped Kit Kat pieces over the batter layer.
  8. Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the Kit Kats, spreading gently to cover.
  9. Top with the remaining chopped Kit Kat pieces.
  10. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours, before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  12. Cut into squares before serving.

Notes

  • For the fudgiest texture, avoid overbaking; slightly underdone is better than dry.
  • If you prefer a chewier edge, bake closer to 35 minutes.
  • Chill the cooled brownies for 30 minutes before cutting for cleaner squares.
