Brownie Batter
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 6 oz white chocolate (use 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 and 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 (177°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature when your batter is ready.
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- Melt Butter and White Chocolate: Place the unsalted butter and white chocolate chunks in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt them in short bursts of 20 seconds, stirring well between each until fully melted and combined.
- Cool Mixture: Allow the melted butter and white chocolate to cool for 5 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely when added.
- Add Sugar and Flavor: Whisk the granulated sugar into the cooled mixture, then add vanilla extract, eggs, and salt, whisking well after each addition until smooth.
- Incorporate Flour: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour carefully until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain fudgy texture.
- Bake: Pour or spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20-24 minutes. Check doneness when the top is set, sides begin to pull away, and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs or clean.
- Cool Down: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set properly before removing and slicing.
- Remove and Slice: Use the edges of the aluminum foil to lift the brownies out of the pan carefully. Peel back the foil and cut into 9 or 12 squares as preferred.
- Prepare Chocolate Drizzle: In a small bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in short 20 second bursts, stirring between each burst until smooth. Drizzle it over the brownie squares.
- Repeat with Semi-Sweet Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips the same way and drizzle them over the brownies for an attractive two-tone chocolate finish.
Notes
- Use baking white chocolate, not candy melts, for the best texture and flavor.
- Allow the melted butter and chocolate mixture to cool before adding eggs to prevent scrambling.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Check brownies at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking; they should still be a bit soft in the center.
- Use aluminum foil to line the pan for easy removal and cleaner edges.
- For extra richness, use high-quality chocolate chips for drizzling.
