The best brownies in the world.

There's been somewhat of an outcry for this recipe, so here it is.

White choc-chip brownies
As found in Super Food Ideas - Issue 38, June 2003

Ingredients

200g butter, chopped
200g dark cooking chocolate, chopped (I just use Nestle dark melts, milk melts also work, just not so rich)
1/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup brown sugar (I've used both light and dark, both work equally well I think)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup plain flour, sifted
1 cup Nestle white choc-bits (dark bits make for extra rich and yummy brownies, I imagine milk bits would be just as good)

Method

Pre-heat oven to 160C.
Grease and line an 18cm square cake pan with baking paper.
Place the butter and dark cooking chocolate in a saucepan.  Stir constantly over low heat until melted and smooth.  Pour into a large bowl.
Add the cocoa powder, brown sugar and vanilla essence, whisk to combine.
Add the eggs and mix or whisk well.  (the heat of the melted chocolate cooks the eggs, so work quickly)
Stir in the flour and white choc bits.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until crumbs cling to a skewer inserted in the centre.
Allow brownies to cool in the pan.
Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Store wrapped in foil in a sealed container in the fridge.

Experience chocolate ecstacy.

See, I saw white chocolate cookies, and was going to do the Happy Dance, but then saw regular chocolate in the cooking and had to cry. *pout*

You could possibly adapt to use all white chocolate.

I imagine it would still end up pale brown due to the cocoa tho.

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Ah, and you also reveal that you are not completely anti-chocolate!

Matt prefers white chocolate too, he will indulge in good quality dark chocolate if it's around however.

[kittikattie.livejournal.com]

It's not so much me being anti as my body being anti.

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

That's gotta suck.

You get used to it. Especially when you remind all your friedns by screaming "DEATH!" whenever they offer it to you. not that it's literal death, but it could possilby put me in the hospital.

I get enough evils when I offer Coke to my friend who has ADD.

I can't have any cocoa. Severe chemical allergy. Like, chemical burns when exposed for too long. =O

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

yowch.

No idea what you could use a substitute.

I think you need a blondie recipe rather than a brownie one.

I've never made blondies.

I use something simalar for muffins and I have issues with cocoa too I just replace it with amond meal or flour and up the vanilla generally. It's worth a try anyway.
