Instructions
- Melt butter and baking chocolate, then add a dash of salt and vanilla.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk in a mixing bowl.
- Add the melted butter and chocolate mixture to the flour and sugar mixture, then spread in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine cocoa, brown sugar, and regular sugar, then evenly spread over the batter in the pan.

- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of baking chocolate. You can also replace regular sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar substitute for a healthier option. If you're out of milk, almond milk or any non-dairy milk can work as a substitute. Be sure to mix the ingredients gently to avoid overworking the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Chocolate Glop warm, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a light salad, such as a Gardening Salad, to balance the richness of the dessert. Drizzling some chocolate sauce over the top can also enhance its presentation.

Store any leftover Chocolate Glop in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. This dessert tastes fantastic warm or at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Keep in mind that this may alter the texture slightly, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients to achieve the right consistency.
How do I know when the Chocolate Glop is done baking?
The Chocolate Glop is done when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remember that it will continue to cook slightly after removing it from the oven, so avoid overbaking.
Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just pour boiling water over it right before baking. This makes it an excellent choice for gatherings or when you want dessert ready to go.
