Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam (warmed slightly)
Red food coloring (optional, to brighten the jam)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk by hand until well combined.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in the dark chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Step 7: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. While cooling, use a straw or small piping tip to poke two ‘bite’ holes into each square area (total of 32 holes for 16 brownies).
Step 8: Fill a small squeeze bottle with the raspberry jam (mixed with a drop of red food coloring if desired) and carefully pipe the jam into each hole until it just overflows slightly.
Notes
For the best results, use seedless raspberry jam so the ‘blood’ looks smooth and realistic.
