Ok, be honest. Can you really tell me that you were never conflicted about whether you wanted a blondie or a brownie? I have and I am definitely one of those people who want it both ways. These thick, rich chocolate brownies combined with swirls of blondie will let you indulge both of your cravings and have it your way!

Super chocolatey with luscious swirls of blondie mixed in will make your chocolate dreams come true while spacing it out to not be too much ;) and a pinch of salt that sky rockets the experience.

Butter: We used unsalted butter in order to be able to control the amount of salt that we add into the recipe. Salted butter is fine as long as you adjust the amount of salt you add.

Eggs: Eggs add to the fat and protein in the batter to help make the brownie nice and chewy. A quick hack to help your eggs come to room temperature if you didn’t take them out early enough is to place them in some hot water for 10 minutes before using  them. ( I always forget to take them out early enough.

Chocolate: Be sure to use high quality chocolate for this recipe. When you have recipes that are simpler it’s important to use high quality ingredients since all of the ingredients will stand out. We used Lindt in this one.

Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract is best for these delicious cookies. I like to use my homemade vanilla or mexican vanilla extract, it has an almost caramel, smooth flavor.

Espresso Powder: It’s completely optional but I love to add a little to any chocolate desserts because it helps enhance the chocolate flavor.
