Ingredients:
- Light brown sugar
- Salted butter
- Vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Dark chocolate chips
- Heavy whipping cream
Substitutions
If you are using unsalted butter, simply add 1 ½ teaspoons of salt to the batter.
Optional: Top with a pinch of coarse sea salt.
Instructions:
Stir together the brown sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla bean paste again and mix for about 30 seconds to incorporate it into the creamed butter.
Gently whisk in the flour with the electric mixer on a low speed until it is fully incorporated into the mixture. Fold in the mini chocolate chips using the hand mixer or a spatula and ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Press the dough in an even layer into a square baking pan and set aside.Â
Recipe Tip
Using mini chocolate chips helps distribute the chocolate throughout the bars more evenly.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 25-second intervals until they are completely melted.Â
Pour the chocolate mixture over the dough and allow the bars to sit in the fridge for 4 hours.
Chill Time
In order for the bars to hold their shape, it is important to let them chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
The delicious and chewy bars will hold their shape at room temperature for about two hours.
