Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar
- 1 & ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ tablespoon red gel food coloring
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 & ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips optional, can be mixed into the batter or melted and drizzled on top of the brownies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval until fully melted.
- Stir the granulated sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red food coloring.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If you like, fold in white chocolate chips into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares.
- If desired, drizzle melted white chocolate on top, let it set, and enjoy!
