Velvet Chocolate Brownies (Print-Friendly Version)

Fudgy red velvet brownies loaded with chocolate and vanilla, optionally topped with white chocolate drizzle.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
02 - 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
07 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped
09 - 1/2 tablespoon red gel food coloring
10 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Optional

11 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, mixed in or melted on top after baking

# How to Make It:

01 - Let the brownies cool entirely in the pan before you cut them into squares. If you want, drizzle with melted white chocolate, let it set, then slice and enjoy.
02 - In a large bowl that can go in the microwave, melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and the unsalted butter in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until everything's melted.
03 - Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan with parchment paper.
04 - If you want more texture, gently mix in the white chocolate chips into the batter.
05 - Mix the granulated sugar into the melted chocolate and butter until smooth. Add each egg one by one, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring until everything's well combined.
06 - In another bowl, sift the unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and all-purpose flour together. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, combining gently. Don’t overdo it.
07 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for around 30 to 35 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs, but no raw batter.

# Extra Information:

01 - Don’t overmix the batter to make sure the brownies stay soft and fudgy.
