Black & White Brownies
White chocolate and bittersweet chocolate make beautiful music together in these brownies.
- 1 cup chopped white chocolate
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup bittersweet chunks or chopped chocolate
Directions
|
1) Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" square pan. |
|
2) Place the white chocolate, butter, and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Heat at low power in the microwave at 1-minute intervals, or over simmering water, until the chocolate softens; white chocolate is sensitive to scorching, so be careful. |
|
3) When the butter is melted and the white chocolate looks soft, stir in the vanilla, nutmeg, and salt. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm. |
|
4) Beat in the eggs. |
|
5) Whisk together the flour and baking powder, and stir into the egg mixture. |
|
6) Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chunks. Spoon the batter into a greased 9" square pan, and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chunks over the top. |
|
7) Bake the brownies for 25 minutes, until they're light golden brown and the edges pull just slightly away from the pan. |
|
8) Remove from the oven, and cool before cutting. |

Yield: 16 brownies. |

The white chocolate brownie has a superbly devine taste! I have never tasted anything better in my entire life! I am so glad I came to this website. Try this dessert and you will be super happy. It is a super dessert. It is to die for. I hope you people that read this will try this dessert. I can really look forword to eat dessert now a days. It is a dream come true! For people that like chocolate I recemend this to you. If you dont like chocolate I still recemend this to you. I love pretty much all dessert but this is just amazing! Now you dont need to worry about not having dessert because this is radical. Please try this because it is yummy. That is what I think of the white chocolate brownie.

In reading all the comments pro & con. I've always found when making gooey brownies that I like them better after they are chilled. I always keep all my bars in the refrigerator or cool porch in the winter. They keep longer then as well. I baked mine about 23 minutes and had just a nice golden top.

Thank you King Arthur for another great recipe! I made these a week ago and the guys are still saying how good they were. Love your site & appreciate the wonderful recipes.

Interesting range of comments. I thought they were fabulous. I made them for a board meeting for a non-profit I'm active with, and they flew off the plate. There weren't even any crumbs left.

Did not work out at all.
The edges were quite done and the middle was still gooey.
And the bittersweet chocolate overwhelmed all the other tastes.
So sorry I wasted the money on the chocolate AND part of a Sunday afternoon with these!

Uggh! These were horrible! They didn't set up and the bittersweet chocolate overwhelmed the blondie completely. The middle was uncooked too - tho' the edges were very crisp and obviously done.
My kids were happy to eat this under vanilla ice cream - I would have fed it to the garbage disposal.
I was thinking of making/giving these for Christmas gifts. So glad I tried them first. No way now! Im sorry I went out and bought the chocolate. (The other stuff I had in the house anyway.)
I wish it was possible to give negative stars.
A BIG disappointment.

I made the recipe following the directions given. The taste was delicious. However, it took at least 15 minutes longer for the brownies to bake in the middle. My oven is calibrated correctly, and this is the first KAF recipe I was disappointed in. The brownies came out very dry with crirspy edges.
Usually very dry with crispy edges means they are overbaked. They will look underdone, when you take them out, but firm up with standing.Mary @ KAF
