Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8"x8" metal pan with parchment paper.
- Combine chopped chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second increments until smooth.
- Whisk in both granulated and light brown sugars until well blended, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, whisking for 1-2 minutes until thick and creamy.
- Fold in flour, cocoa powder, optional espresso powder, and salt until just incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering, then pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
- Stir the mixture until smooth, then whip the cooled ganache with a hand mixer until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a cookie cutter to make 16 brownie bites, then pipe the whipped ganache on top.

Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for best results. Allow brownies to cool completely to prevent crumbling while cutting.
