Description
Indulge in these rich and fudgy Decadent Dark Chocolate Rhubarb Brownies, combining the deep flavors of dark chocolate with the tartness of rhubarb.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rhubarb, diced (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.
- Add the flour and salt to the mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the diced rhubarb and dark chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter.
- If you prefer a nutty texture, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans before baking.
