- Baking spray, for pan
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- 2 4-ounce bars of bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature

Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Step 2Pulse chocolate, cereal, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a food processor until chocolate is finely chopped, 10 to 12 times.
