Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chunks
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the melted butter. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 7

Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 8

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares or desired serving sizes.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your decadent Double Chocolate Fantasy Bars with a glass of cold milk or your favorite coffee!
