Description
Fudgy red velvet brownies with rich cocoa flavor and a soft center, finished with optional white chocolate chips or a drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon red gel food coloring
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups 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 mixing bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar and mix until combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring until the batter looks evenly colored.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
- If desired, fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.
- Optional: Drizzle with melted white chocolate, let it set, then slice and serve.
Notes
- For the fudgiest texture, stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears.
- Do not overbake; pull the pan when a toothpick shows moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before slicing for clean edges.
- Use white chocolate chips mixed into the batter or melt and drizzle on top.
