Brownie Batter
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 6 oz baking white chocolate (not candy melts)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the brownies to perfection.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray, then set it aside for later use.
- Melt Butter and White Chocolate: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 6 oz baking white chocolate together. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted mixture, then add vanilla extract, eggs, and salt. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Add Flour: Gently fold in the spooned and leveled flour until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour or spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out smoothly.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F for 20-24 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges start pulling away from the pan. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs or clean.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for best texture and ease of cutting.
- Cut: Using the edges of the foil, lift the brownies from the pan. Carefully peel back the foil and cut into 9 or 12 squares as desired.
- Chocolate Drizzle: In a small bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth. Drizzle over each brownie square. Repeat the process with the semi-sweet chocolate chips and drizzle on top for a beautiful two-tone finish.
Notes
- Use baking white chocolate rather than candy melts for the best flavor and texture.
- Room temperature eggs integrate better and help prevent curdling in the batter.
- Be careful not to overbake; brownies should be moist and fudgy, so check with a toothpick early.
- Allow brownies to cool fully before cutting to ensure clean slices.
- For an extra touch, add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter if desired.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
