Directions

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Prepare an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper draping over the sides.

2. Fill a small saucepan with the 1/2 cup water and stir in gelatin. Let sit for a few minutes. Meanwhile, in a food processor, blend the remaining ingredients together until smooth.

3. Bring the gelatin mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir continuously until it’s completely dissolved and there aren’t any lumps. Turn off the heat. Quickly stir in the cacao mixture until a uniformed, smooth batter is achieved. Fold in chocolate chips and stir to combine.

4. Immediately transfer to the baking pan and spread batter evenly around all four sides. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is slightly crisp and the center is fully cooked (check with a toothpick or a think fork).

5. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks for 30 minutes. Cut into squares. Enjoy warm or store leftovers in a glass container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
