Rich melted chocolate forms the base of these fudgy squares, whisked with sugar until glossy and thickened, then folded together with cocoa powder for that deep, bittersweet flavor in every bite. The air fryer works surprisingly well here, giving you set, crackly edges while the center stays soft and dense — no oven required, no long bake time. A handful of chocolate chips folded into the batter melts into little pockets of extra richness as it cooks. Once cooled and lifted out with the parchment handles, these cut into neat, dense squares that hold together perfectly for slicing. It's a quick, small-batch treat that fits neatly into a vegan dessert lineup, especially when you want brownies without heating up the whole kitchen.

Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (165°C) for 3 minutes. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of a 7-inch round or square baking pan, leaving a 1-inch overhang on two sides to act as handles. Lightly grease the pan and the parchment.
Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until completely smooth and no lumps remain. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes.
