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 into 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 to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each increment until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add sugar and eggs: Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and chocolate mixture and mix well. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate air and create a smooth batter.
  4. Mix in flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored and fragrant.
  5. Sift dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt to remove lumps and ensure even distribution.
  6. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough brownies.
  7. Optional white chocolate chips: If desired, fold in white chocolate chips into the batter for added texture and sweetness.
  8. Pour batter into pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula for a uniform thickness.
  9. Bake the brownies: 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 not wet batter.
  10. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set properly before slicing into squares.
  11. Optional drizzle: Optionally, melt white chocolate and drizzle it on top of the cooled brownies, allow it to set before slicing and serving for an extra sweet finish.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender and fudgy texture.
  • Use red gel food coloring for a vibrant red color without changing the batter consistency.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to help them hold their shape.
  • White chocolate chips can be mixed into the batter or used as a drizzle topping for added sweetness.
  • Check brownies closely after 30 minutes of baking to prevent overbaking and dryness.
