Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins and Coating
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Melt the unsalted butter, then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Form Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough brownies.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Prepare Coconut Mixture: While the brownies cool, mix the powdered sugar with the sweetened coconut flakes in a shallow dish to create the coating.
- Coat Brownies: Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and roll each piece in the powdered sugar and coconut mixture until fully coated.
Notes
- Be careful not to overbake to maintain fudgy texture.
- Use sweetened coconut flakes for the classic Sno Ball flavor.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before coating to prevent melting glaze.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
