Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate chips and butter together until smooth, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until combined, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before slicing into bars and serving.

Notes

For a different twist, try adding a layer of caramel between the chocolate and pistachios!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling. If you’re looking for a nut-free version, you can substitute pistachios with sunflower seeds for a similar crunchy texture. These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, making them a great make-ahead treat!
