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

Is White Chocolate Really Chocolate?

Since there is no chocolate liquor in white chocolate, it can’t be categorized as a true chocolate.

What Ingredients Are in White Chocolate?

You’ll typically find sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids, lecithin and vanilla listed as the ingredients on white chocolate products.

How Do You Melt White Chocolate?

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!!!
