Prepare to elevate your baking game with a recipe that is far more than just a brownie. Kent V. Madsen’s Dark Chocolate Brownie Bar is a masterclass in texture and flavor, designed to offer a sophisticated patisserie experience right in your own kitchen. At its heart lies a dense, fudgy base made with premium Callebaut dark chocolate, providing a deep, intense cocoa canvas. But the real showstopper is the crown: a Gold Crunch layer. By combining the caramelized, toffee-like notes of Callebaut GOLD chocolate with the shattering crisp of Pailleté Feuilletine, puffed rice, and crushed biscuits, this bar delivers a satisfying snap with every bite. Finished with a coating of smooth milk chocolate and a sprinkle of vibrant pistachios, this recipe yields approximately 40 pieces of pure edible luxury—perfect for special occasions or when you simply need to impress.
