Rich Black Forest Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Beat sugar, butter, and water together in a large bowl; add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

Whisk flour, cocoa powder, pudding mix, baking powder, and salt together in another bowl. Add flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, to butter mixture, stirring batter well after each addition. Stir dark chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips into batter. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out slightly sticky with chocolate, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool in baking dish for 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
