Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup of butter over low heat and stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add 4 room-temperature eggs one at a time and mix well, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and spread the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  7. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil until smooth.
  9. Pour the chocolate topping over the cooled brownies and decorate with melted chocolate, sprinkles, and candy eggs.
  10. Allow to set for at least 30 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
