Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar
  • 1 & 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon red gel food coloring

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 & 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (either mixed into the batter or melted and drizzled on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter. Mix in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring until evenly incorporated.
  4. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt to eliminate lumps and ensure even mixing.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and a dense texture. If desired, fold in white chocolate chips for added sweetness and texture.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the prepared batter into the lined 8×8 inch baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter, indicating perfect doneness.
  8. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to set properly for clean cutting.
  9. Optional White Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, melt additional white chocolate and drizzle over the cooled brownies. Let the drizzle set before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to keep brownies tender.
  • Using an 8×8 inch pan ensures proper thickness and baking time.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick around 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • For extra richness, white chocolate chips can be folded in or drizzled on top after baking.
  • Let brownies cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
