American Brownie Recipe

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 4 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Toffee bits (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. Prepare the Brownie Mixture:
   • In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth.
   • Stir in the sugar.
   • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
   • Mix in the vanilla extract.
   • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir this mixture into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
3. Bake the Brownies:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
   • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
   • Remove from the oven and immediately top with toffee bits if desired.
4. Cool and Cut:
   • Wrap the pan tightly in foil and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
   • Once cooled, remove the foil and cut the brownies into squares.

Notes:

• This recipe yields 16 brownies.
• For an extra touch, you can add CBD cartridges like Funky Farms Gelato for an infused variation.
