Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar until well combined.
Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Sift together 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder into the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until just combined.
Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped Kit-Kat bars, saving a few pieces to sprinkle on top.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the reserved Kit-Kat pieces on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment overhang. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
