Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy. This should take about 5 minutes; be careful not to overheat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with the cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk until blended. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, whisk vigorously to incorporate air, and mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, ensuring not to overmix.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan. Pour the brownie batter evenly within and bake for 20-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, cool the brownies in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Spread chocolate frosting on top and decorate with chocolate chips and candies to create Chewbacca's features.

Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing the batter to maintain chewiness. Store decorated brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
