Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 & 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
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 bursts, stirring between bursts until smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar and stir to combine.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Add the dry mix to the wet mix slowly, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in white chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan, then lift out and slice. Optionally, drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving.
Notes
Use gel food coloring for vivid red without altering batter texture. Measure flour correctly to avoid dense brownies. Adjust baking time for fudgier or cakier texture.
