Fudgy brownies meet a healthy dose of bourbon, pockets of dark chocolate, and a sprinkling of sea salt on a perfectly crispy crust. This no-fuss recipe takes just one bowl and 10 minutes from start to oven.
4 ounces Videri 70% Classic Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
3 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup high-quality cocoa powder
¾ cup 70% Dark Chocolate Chips
flaky sea salt, for topping
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and chopped 70% chocolate. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in sugar, then add in eggs one at a time, whisking to combine. Add bourbon and vanilla. Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and kosher salt, mixing until the batter is glossy and smooth. Lastly, stir in the dark chocolate chips.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing. Enjoy!
Pro Tip: Videri recommends using at least 70% chocolate, or one of their single origin bars to spice it up!
