Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare the Baking Pan:

- Line a 20×20 cm (8×8 inch) baking pan with baking paper.
2. Melt the Chocolate & Butter:
- Using a double boiler (bain-marie), melt dark chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients:

5. Bake the Mochi Brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a sieve to remove any lumps.
- Sprinkle chocolate chunks evenly on top.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Cool & Serve:
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your chewy, chocolatey mochi brownies!
Notes
- Use Baking Paper: This prevents sticking and ensures perfect brownies.

- Cutting Tip: Brush your knife with a little oil for clean, easy cuts.
