Ingredients
For the brownies
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Allow the chocolate to set completely.
Methods
The most important part of this recipe is baking the brownies just right. Underbaking makes them too soft to dip. Overbaking makes them cakey instead of fudgy. Cooling fully before cutting is crucial. For the chocolate coating, adding a small amount of oil gives the melted chocolate a smooth texture and shiny finish. Using a fork or dipping tool helps keep the edges clean.
History
Brownies originated in the United States in the late 1800s when chefs began experimenting with dense chocolate cakes. The idea of covering brownies in chocolate came much later, influenced by truffle-making techniques. Bite-sized desserts grew popular as entertaining became more casual, making portable sweets a trend at parties and events.

Formation
