Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies after baking.

2. Melt Butter & Chocolate:

• In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir until fully melted and smooth.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

• Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

• Stir in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red food coloring until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.

4. Sift & Add Dry Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Fold in White Chocolate Chips (Optional):

• If desired, fold in the white chocolate chips into the brownie batter for extra sweetness and texture.

6. Bake:

• Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 8×8-inch pan, spreading it evenly.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking!

7. Cool & Slice:

• Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This ensures they set properly and hold their shape.

8. Optional Topping:

• For an extra indulgent touch, melt some white chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled brownies before slicing.

Notes

• For a stronger red color: Use more red gel food coloring, but keep in mind that too much can alter the flavor.

• Optional Add-ins: Feel free to mix in nuts, caramel bits, or other fun additions into the brownie batter.

• Storage: These brownies will stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week.
