  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

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 teaspoon 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 (optional, mixed in the batter or melted and drizzled on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring well after each until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Sugar and Eggs: Stir in the granulated sugar until well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  4. Mix Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring, mixing thoroughly to distribute the vibrant color and flavor evenly.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt to remove any lumps and aerate the mixture.
  6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain fudgy texture. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips now.
  7. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Optionally, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled brownies, let it set, then cut into 16 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use red gel food coloring for the best vibrant color without thinning the batter.
  • Do not overbake; the center should be moist for fudgy brownies.
  • White chocolate chips can be mixed into the batter or melted and used as a decorative drizzle.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
