# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main Batter

01 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 - 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bar, finely chopped
03 - 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
06 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
07 - 1/2 tablespoon red gel food coloring
08 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, optional

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
03 - Whisk in granulated sugar until incorporated, followed by eggs added one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring.
04 - In a separate medium bowl, sift together unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt.
05 - Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips if desired.
06 - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
07 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Drizzle with additional melted white chocolate if desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For pronounced red color, use gel-based food coloring rather than liquid.
