# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, chopped
02 - 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
03 - 2 cups granulated sugar
04 - 3 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
07 - 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring

→ Dry Ingredients

08 - 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Preheat oven to 350°F.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and glossy.
03 - Whisk sugar into the warm chocolate mixture until blended. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Stir in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel coloring until uniform.
04 - In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt to remove lumps.
05 - Add dry ingredients to wet mixture gradually. Fold gently with rubber spatula just until no flour streaks remain, avoiding overmixing.
06 - Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing surface. Bake 25-30 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out with few moist crumbs.
07 - Cool completely in pan to set texture. Lift out using parchment overhang and cut into squares with sharp knife, cleaning blade between cuts.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use gel food coloring for vibrant color without thinning batter
02 - Do not overmix after adding flour for fudgiest texture
03 - Chill brownies before cutting for cleanest slices
04 - Store in airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze up to 2 months
