Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup your favorite fruit jelly or jam
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined. Then, whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.

Step 5

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to partially set the bottom layer.

Step 6

Remove the pan from the oven and carefully spread the jelly or jam evenly over the partially baked brownie layer. Be gentle to avoid mixing the layers.

Step 7

Spread the remaining brownie batter over the jelly layer, making sure to cover it completely. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 17 minutes, or until the top is set but still slightly fudgy. Avoid overbaking.

Step 9

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
