Whether it’s a celebration, a thoughtful gift, or simply a personal indulgence, this recipe is perfect for every occasion. Let’s get started!

Ingredients Chocolate-Coated Brownies

For the Brownies:

• 120 g cooking oil (or melted butter)
• 1 egg
• 60 ml water
• 50 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 120 g plain flour
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 100 g white chocolate chips
• 100 g milk or dark chocolate chips
• 1–2 tbsp oil (for melting)

For Decoration:

• Chopped pistachios or your favorite toppings

Instructions Chocolate-Coated Brownies

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter

1. Mix the Chocolate Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and water. Stir the mixture until the chocolate chips melt and the ingredients form a smooth, glossy base.
2. Add the Egg: Crack 1 egg into the chocolate mixture and whisk it in until fully incorporated. This will add structure and richness to your brownies.
3. Incorporate the Oil: Gradually pour in cooking oil (or melted butter), stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and shiny. The oil ensures your brownies stay moist and fudgy.
4. Check the Mixture: At this stage, check your brownie mixture to ensure all ingredients are well combined and the batter has a smooth consistency. Adjust if needed.
5. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the plain flour into the mixture to avoid lumps. Gently fold it in using a spatula until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of your brownies.

Step 2: Bake the Chocolate-Coated Brownies

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
2. Prepare the Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with butter paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Pour the Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tray and spread it evenly using a spatula. Make sure it’s level for an even bake.
4. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the brownies; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they’re ready.
5. Cool Down: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely before handling. This is important to ensure the brownies set properly and don’t crumble when you cut them.

Step 3: Shape the Brownies

1. Cut into Shapes: Once the brownies have cooled, use a round or square cutter to cut them into neat shapes. Don’t worry about the scraps—we’ll use them later for decoration.
2. Set Aside: Arrange the cut brownies on a plate or tray, ready for coating.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

1. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips along with a little oil (around 1 tbsp). Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
2. Melt Milk or Dark Chocolate: Repeat the same process with the milk or dark chocolate chips and a bit of oil. Make sure both types of chocolate are silky and ready for dipping.

Step 5: Coat the Brownies

1. Dip in Chocolate: Take each brownie piece and dip it into the melted chocolate. You can use white chocolate, milk chocolate, or a combination of both to create a marbled effect. Use a fork or skewer to help coat the brownies evenly.
2. Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle chopped pistachios or your favorite toppings over the top. This adds a beautiful crunch and a pop of color.
3. Set on a Tray: Place the coated brownies on a tray lined with butter paper to prevent sticking.

Step 6: Chill and Set Chocolate-Coated Brownies

1. Refrigerate: Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and let the brownies chill for 30-60 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has hardened.
2. Store: Once set, you can store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week—if they last that long!
