Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted): Adds moisture and richness to give these brownies a fudgy texture. Melt it and let it cool slightly before mixing.
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar: Gives the brownies sweetness and a delicate crust on top. White sugar is best for that signature brownie crackle.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar: Adds a touch of molasses for extra chewiness and depth of flavor.
- 4 large eggs: These bind the ingredients and make the brownies rich. Room temperature eggs will mix more easily.
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour: Gives structure to the brownies, making them soft but not crumbly. Sift it to avoid lumps.
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder: For that rich chocolatey flavor! Unsweetened cocoa powder is best for a deep, intense taste.
- 1 tbsp red food coloring: Essential for the red velvet look. Gel food coloring works well for a vibrant red without watering down the batter.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract: Balances the chocolate flavor with a touch of warmth.
- 1/2 tsp salt: Enhances all the flavors, especially the sweetness and chocolate.
- 1 cup chopped Kinder Bueno bars: The star ingredient! Chop into medium-sized chunks to get bites of creamy, hazelnut-filled Kinder Bueno throughout the brownies.
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips: Optional, but adds extra gooeyness and a little crunch on top.
