Prepare for a divine experience with our Triple-Layered Chocolate Bliss Bars, featuring a silky brownie foundation, a lush nougat center, and a decadent chocolate glaze. This treat is a true celebration of chocolate in all its glory.
Ingredients:
Brownie Foundation:
- 4 oz of fine bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa), roughly divided
- 6 tbsp of creamy unsalted butter
- 2 sizable eggs, at a welcoming room temperature
- ¾ cup of sweet granulated sugar
- ½ tsp of exotic pure vanilla extract
- A generous ¼ tsp of salt
- ⅓ cup of versatile all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp of rich cocoa powder
Nougat Center:
- ⅓ cup of homemade salted caramel sauce
- ½ cup of smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup of crunchy peanuts
Chocolate Glaze:
- 3 oz of premium dark chocolate, meticulously chopped
- 1 tsp of organic coconut oil
Preparation:
- Warm your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment, letting the edges drape over for easy removal.
- Begin the brownie base by melting your chocolate and butter together over a low flame, stirring until they are one. Alternatively, use a microwave on medium power, stirring intermittently.
- In a separate vessel, whisk eggs, sugar, and salt until they resemble a pale, thickened cream. Welcome the warm chocolate into the mix with a gentle beat.
- Introduce flour and cocoa powder, folding them in to create a uniform batter. Spread this chocolate canvas into your pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Allow the masterpiece to cool on a wire sanctuary.
- For the nougat, blend the salted caramel sauce, peanut butter, and peanuts until the mixture is smooth and comforting. Adorn your cooled brownie base with this layer.
- Craft the glaze by melting dark chocolate with coconut oil until it shines like satin, then cascade it over the nougat layer, smoothing to perfection.
- Let the bars set in the chill of the refrigerator. Slice into squares with a knife warmed by hot water for pristine edges.
