Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the brownies out later.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined and slightly lighter in color.1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, 1 cup granulated sugar
- Add the two large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until everything is incorporated into a smooth mixture.2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough brownies. A few streaks of flour are okay at this stage.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to package directions (usually in 30-second intervals, stirring in between). If using white chocolate chips for contrast, melt those separately as well.1/2 cup green candy melts, 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- Pour about two-thirds of the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Drizzle the melted green candy melts over the brownie batter in the pan. If using, drizzle the white chocolate chips over the green as well.1/2 cup green candy melts, 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- Dollop the remaining one-third of the brownie batter over the green chocolate layer. Use a knife or a toothpick to gently swirl all the layers together, creating a marbled effect. Be creative with your swirls, but avoid over-swirling, which can mix the colors too much.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. The edges should be set.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, you can lift them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut them into squares. If desired, decorate with green sprinkles, shamrock candies, or edible glitter for an extra festive touch.Green sprinkles, shamrock candies, or edible glitter
