Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (170g) premium white chocolate, broken into pieces
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (124g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (180g) white chocolate chips
  • Additional premium white chocolate or white chocolate chips for drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper. Do not use foil; the brownies will get too brown around the edges.
  • Place white chocolate and butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. This will take approximately 3 minutes depending on your microwave.
  • You can also mix together on the stovetop using a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Stir sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Stir in eggs and vanilla, then slowly stir in flour. Stir in chocolate chips and spread in prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and puffed. Cool completely before removing from the pan and decorating.
  • To decorate the tops, melt 2 ounces premium baking chocolate (or 1/4 cup white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil) in a small microwave safe bowl and heat on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Place melted white chocolate in a sandwich bag and cut off a tiny edge of the tip and drizzle over cooled bars. Let set then slice.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Do not use foil; the brownies will get too brown around the edges. Instead, use parchment paper. 
  • I always recommend baking in a metal pan for best results.
  • You can omit the extra white chocolate chips, or swap nuts instead, or even oreos to make White Chocolate Oreo brownies!
  • You know your brownies are done when they're a light golden on top and are not wet-looking.
