Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 12x17 inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Sift Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread Batter onto Baking Sheet:
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, covering the entire surface of the baking sheet. Ensure the batter is spread thinly for a crispy result.
Optional: Add Toppings:
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the center is set.
Cool and Break:
Remove the brownie brittle from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break the brittle into smaller pieces using your hands or a knife.
Serve and Store:
Serve the brownie brittle as a delicious snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days.
