# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
02 -
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped
03 -
1 cup granulated sugar
04 -
2 large eggs
05 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
06 -
1 tsp white vinegar
07 -
1 tbsp red gel food coloring
→ Dry Ingredients
08 -
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
09 -
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
10 -
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
→ Optional Mix-ins
11 -
1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped nuts
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Line or grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
03 -
Whisk sugar into the warm chocolate-butter mixture until blended. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla, vinegar, and food coloring until evenly mixed.
04 -
Sift cocoa powder, flour, and salt into a bowl to remove lumps and aerate.
05 -
Fold dry ingredients gently into wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
06 -
Fold in white chocolate chips or nuts if using, mixing lightly for even distribution.
07 -
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 25–30 minutes.
08 -
Allow brownies to cool fully in the pan, then lift with parchment and cut into squares with a sharp knife.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Do not overmix after adding flour to maintain a fudgy texture.
02 -
Chill before slicing for clean, sharp cuts.
03 -
Brownies freeze well for up to two months when wrapped tightly.
