• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

2 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar

1 & 1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1/2 tablespoons red gel food coloring

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 & 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional mixed in the the batter or melted and drizzled on top of the brownies.)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir until fully melted.

Add in the granulated sugar and mix until combined then add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir 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, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in white chocolate chips into the brownie batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared 8x8 inch pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 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 cutting into squares.

Optionally, drizzle melted white chocolate on top, allow to set, slice, and enjoy!
