If you like fudgy brownies then you are going to love these Brownie Cocoa Bars. They are super soft and fudgy. That rich chocolate flavor comes from the addition of bittersweet chocolate and a double dark cocoa powder that is not only mixed into the brownie itself but then used to coat the outside, which adds to that intense chocolate flavor.

Ingredients Needed To Make These Brownie Cocoa Bars
- Butter: I always opt for unsalted butter. This will allow you to control the salt in the recipe.
- Bittersweet Chocolate: I like to use Bittersweet Chocolate Chips for this recipe. If you prefer, a semi sweet will work also.
- Eggs: At room temperature.
- Sugar: Granulated Sugar works best for this recipe.
- Vanilla Extract: I prefer Pure Vanilla Extract for its intense vanilla flavor.
- Flour: An All Purpose Flour works best.
- Espresso Powder: When Espresso Powder is added to chocolate recipes, it helps intensify the chocolate flavor.
- Cocoa Powder: I like to use a Double Dark Unsweetened Cocoa Powder For its intense chocolate flavor.
