Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 medium Fresh jalapeños, finely diced
• 0 Optional: Powdered sugar or chocolate drizzle

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Beat with a whisk or hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and the cooled chocolate-butter mixture until well blended.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the finely diced jalapeños, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
