Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • Red, green, and white candy melts (for decoration)
  • Mini candy bows or holiday sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar until smooth. Let cool slightly before adding eggs and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Allow brownies to cool completely before decorating with melted candy melts like ribbons on gifts; add sprinkles if desired.
