KitKat Brownies! – Jane’s Patisserie

Deliciously fudgey chocolate chip KitKat brownies with a gooey chocolate chip brownie base, stuffed to the brim with KitKats! 

So right here we’re, again once more with one more brownie recipe that I hope you might be all going to obsess over simply as a lot as I’ve been… as a result of have a look at them! HEAVENLY! 

These deliciously chocolatey brownies are a bit of excessive you might argue, however I’m in loveee with them! 

Chocolate

As all the time, the brownies have to begin off with the thought of chocolate. You possibly can’t make brownies and not using a type of chocolate as a result of it’s principally the primary ingredient (clearly). 

When I’ve made brownies up to now, I’ve all the time caught to the identical guidelines – you MUST use darkish chocolate within the base brownie combination (with a cocoa content material of 70%+) for finest outcomes. 

I discover even with brownies, chocolate works the identical as with ganache the place the cocoa content material actually could make a distinction to the feel of the brownie combine, in addition to the baked brownies themselves. 

I exploit this darkish chocolate as a result of I purchase it in bulk and discover it best, however any darkish chocolate with a excessive sufficient cocoa content material will work; and don’t fear, they don’t style too wealthy or darkish, simply excellent. 

Brownies

Now brownies themselves are solely six substances for me, and they’re all straightforward to pay money for and bake with. 

• Butter – in relation to the butter in brownies, you should utilize block butter or baking unfold – each work properly!
• Chocolate – As above, DARK CHOCOLATE guys! So so so vital. 
• Eggs – I exploit medium eggs almost on a regular basis, so I exploit 4 medium, but when it is advisable to use massive, use three!
• Sugar – As ever, fairly interchangeable. I change on a regular basis between caster sugar and light-weight brown mushy sugar for my favourites. 
• Flour – Please make certain to make use of PLAIN flour – you don’t need to use flour with a elevating agent as you don’t need the brownies to show cakey.
• Cocoa – I exploit 100% power cocoa powder as I like it – however any work actually. Usually, I’d keep away from scorching chocolate powders although as a result of there may be a lot sugar and different substances they don’t are inclined to work properly. 

KitKats

So clearly, the primary occasion on this recipe… KITKATS! The clearly fundamental cause that you simply guys are right here to bake these scrumptious beauties is as a result of, like me, I’m certain you suppose KitKats are barely underrated. I’m obsessed – I all the time have stack masses in my fridge as a result of yeah, I like them fridge chilly. 

I went for the usual four-finger KitKat for these, however you should utilize any flavour of KitKat that you simply fancy – the essential authentic ones like me, or the darkish chocolate, orange chocolate, honeycomb, mint and so on and so on – all of them work completely!!  

You possibly can clearly additionally use two-finger KitKats however you’d simply want to purchase double the quantity. I don’t freeze them earlier than use as I don’t suppose it’s wanted. 

Making

In terms of making the brownies, I begin off by melting the butter and darkish chocolate collectively in a bowl, often within the microwave for ease. You need to do that first in order that the combination has an opportunity to begin cooling off a bit of earlier than you need to add it to the remainder of the brownie batter.

As soon as melted, I begin whisking my eggs and sugar. I do that with my stand mixer, once more for ease, however you should utilize an electrical hand whisk and even only a whisk and your arm; it might simply take longer. You need the eggs and sugar to be a lot paler in color, doubled in quantity and the whisk to go away a path for it to be prepared. 

As soon as this has occurred, you’ll be able to FOLD the melted butter/chocolate combination into the brownies, after which FOLD the plain flour and cocoa powder. It’s vital to fold so that you simply don’t lose the superb quantity you gained from whisking earlier on. Then after all, fold by the chocolate chips.

I then layer half the brownie combination into my lined 9″ sq. tin, high with as many Kitkats that may match, after which the remainder of the brownie combine. 

Baking

I get that brownies will be scary to bake, however they’re a lot simpler to make than chances are you’ll suppose. You need to preheat the oven as this will actually make a distinction, and ensure it’s on the right temperature. I say that, as a result of ovens can typically be barely mistaken and baking is like chemistry so wants accuracy. 

You possibly can then bake the brownies within the oven for 25-Half-hour, or till there may be an ever-so-slight wobble in the course of the tray – I then let my brownies cool absolutely within the tin, after which set them within the fridge in a single day. That is non-obligatory, however if you’d like these dense scrumptious brownies, the fridge is vital!

As talked about earlier within the weblog put up, there are numerous fine details you are able to do to principally assure that your brownies come out completely… equivalent to the proper chocolate, rigorously folding substances, baking till there may be an ever-so-slight wobble and so forth – and these are all tremendous vital.
