Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for extra fudginess)
  • Red, green, and white candy melts
  • Mini candy bows or holiday sprinkles (optional but festive!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then whisk in sugar until smooth. Allow to cool slightly before adding eggs and vanilla extract; mix until thick.
  3. In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this into the wet mixture until just combined; add chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Once cooled, cut into squares and decorate with melted candy melts as ribbons and optional sprinkles.
