Decadent, chewy, and fudgy brownies shaped like footballs, coated in a dark chocolate glaze and decorated with sweet white chocolate laces. Perfect for game day, parties, or any time you need a chocolate fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For the chocolate glaze:
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • For the white chocolate laces:
  • 2 ounces white chocolate, melted
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until glossy, about 1 minute. Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until mixture is pale and thick.
  3. Sift cocoa powder, flour, salt, and espresso powder into the bowl. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  4. Pour in cooled, melted bittersweet chocolate and stir until the batter is deep and shiny. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Let brownies cool in pan for 15 minutes, then lift onto a wire rack to cool completely (about 30 minutes more). Using a sharp knife or oval cutter, cut out football shapes.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt bittersweet chocolate and butter together in 30-second bursts. Stir in corn syrup. Let glaze cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Dip or spoon glaze over each brownie football, setting them on a parchment-lined rack. Let glaze set for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Melt white chocolate (with coconut oil, if using) and transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Pipe laces onto each football.
  10. Let brownies set until glaze is firm (about 30 minutes). Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. Do not overmix the batter for fudgy brownies. Shape brownies while they are barely warm for neat football shapes. Glaze can be set faster by chilling in the fridge. Brownies can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 1 month.
