White Chocolate Brownies Recipe
I used to have a little gizmo at the bottom of my posts that shared related posts. Sometimes I’d gasp at the look of the old posts that pop up. Usually a terrific recipe, but photographed in my dark kitchen with no attempt at food styling. Today’s White and Chocolate Brownies Recipe was one such recipe.
My friend, Danielle, with whom I do a #TwoSweetiePies recipe exchange each month, may have featured this for one of her Facebook bake-alongs. A similar recipe is on her blog now…as there is one deep in my archives with some less-than-stellar photos! So it was time for a recipe redo. These dense white chocolate brownies, sprinkled with semi-sweet chocolate chips, are too heavenly not to share again.
Why You Must Make
- If you have a family member who’s not a huge chocolate fan, as I do, these brownies, AKA blondies, are a tasty treat without the intense chocolate flavor of traditional brownies.
- Made in a 9 x 13 pan (affiliate link), this batch will make at least 24 servings, depending on how you cut them.
- They freeze beautifully, so you can eat a few, then keep the rest in your freezer for anytime you get a craving!
Ingredient Notes
- Kitchen Staples – All-Purpose Flour, Sugar, Salt
- Butter – Salted is fine, as the small amount of salt won’t make these bars taste salty.
- White Chocolate (affiliate link) – I use Ghirardelli bars, chopped for easier melting. White chocolate chips can be used in a pinch, but the quality isn’t as good.
- Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (affiliate link) – Any favorite brand will work.
- Vanilla Extract – Use real vanilla extract, not artificially flavored, for the tastiest results. Read the label to make sure. I use the Nielsen-Massey brand (affiliate link).
Frequently Asked Questions
Since there is no chocolate liquor in white chocolate, it can’t be categorized as a true chocolate.
You’ll typically find sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids, lecithin and vanilla listed as the ingredients on white chocolate products.
White chocolate should be melted slowly to avoid scorching and clumping (according to my Food Lovers Companion). You can carefully microwave using short intervals, or melt in a double boiler.
I’m definitely a sucker when it comes to white chocolate. It’s a house divided, though. Katie is on my side, but my youngest would rather steer clear in favor of dark chocolate. The hubby and my oldest are fine with all of the above! I love these as an alternative to chocolate chip bars and your typical blondies. The white chocolate is actually melted with the butter, thus completely flavoring the batter. There’s no need to sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, but a little extra chocolate never hurts, does it? Thanks, Danielle, for giving me the opportunity to revisit this terrific recipe!!!

You would be crazy not to sprinkle the bars with mini chocolate chips! I would love a few of these bars for a snack right about now!
I am always in awe of how amazingly perfect your slices turn out. You MUST share your secret! I’m not a huge white chocolate fan, I really just find it’s too sweet, but JT loves it.
really genius to come up with a white brownie I cant wait to make these!
Wow, Liz! That giant pan of white chocolate brownies is calling my name. I love all the chocolate chips studded throughout and that rich, fudgy, moist texture is absolute perfection. Good idea to make this again!
i surprisingly have never had white chocolate brownies before! definitely missing out on something delicious, they look amazing.
Perfect enough for Red Rocks! These look great, Liz!
You seriously make the NEST baked goods! You must have some crazy will power to not overindulge on all your treats!
Liz, dear! Brownies are my weakness, a real American fave of mine. These are to munch by myself. I would share mine with no one… and I mean it!
I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate to be honest, Liz, only in small doses… but these do look delicious!
I love white chocolate. Milk chocolate would be my first choice and dark as my last haha. I love these while chocolate brownies!
Ok, these are so important.
White chocolate brownies are my absolute favorite dessert. Seriously.
I’ve tried to recreate them so many times. It’s actually pretty absurd the amount of time I’ve spent trying to perfect the recipe. I’ve been baking them on a regular basis since 2012, but still have yet to find the perfect recipe for a moist brownie full of white chocolate flavor. Far too often, I find that white chocolate brownies end up too cakey and dried out. That doesn’t fly with me, I want ooey, gooey, even underbaked brownies.
That said, these look perfect! I’m pinning these immediately to test out the recipe because these look like a winner!
Damn delicious, i can imagine how great the brownies taste like
the photograph is totally seducing me !!!
LIZ-I am loving these!!!! Great pics-think I will bake them up again-had forgotten about them, too!!!! hahaha xoxo
Yes, I’m definitely a white chocolate fan. In fact, I have a white chocolate brownie recipe scheduled to post on my blog tomorrow.
I haven’t made them with mini chocolate chips but I know this recipe will be a hit at my house.
Oh yum. White, milk or dark chocolate, I love it all! This recipe looks amazing….definitely going to try it 🙂
I try to laugh at my old photos, but gasp is probably more accurate! I’m becoming more and more fond of white chocolate, these brownies sound great:@)
I am definitely white chocolate fan and these brownies look like a great treat!
Aaaaaah yum! I am seriously considering making these today as a post-breakfast brunch..is that bad?
I totally understand the white choc love! Although I am a massive fan of dark chocolate, I don’t really consider white chocolate as chocolate…rather a sweet. And all things sweet & milky are weaknesses in my book! 🙂
Delicious photo…
These sound heavenly and I love the mini chocolate chips!
