This is the BEST White chocolate brownies recipe! They’re like fudgy brownies but made with white chocolate – those crackly tops and fudgy texture with the perfect amount of sweetness. White chocolate lovers – you’ll love this recipe!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
A White Chocolate Brownie is like a regular brownie recipe except they’re made with white chocolate instead of cocoa powder, unsweetened or semi-sweet chocolate. You might think they’re just blondies but they have the fudgy texture of brownies, not the cookie texture of a white chocolate blondie. I adjusted my best brownie recipe to have the perfect amount of sugar so they’re not too sweet but full of white chocolate flavor.
Ingredients Needed
- White chocolate: Use premium white chocolate bars – a high quality baking bar, not chips or melts, like Ghirardelli, Lindt, or Bakers
- Butter: unsalted butter to melt the white chocolate pieces
- Sugar: granulated sugar to keep these nice and blonde
- Additional chocolate: add white chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks – you can even add chopped macadamia nuts if you want!
How to make White Chocolate Brownies
- Melt white chocolate and butter together in a large microwave-safe bowl. It’s easiest if the butter is room temperature.
- Stir the sugar into the melted white chocolate mixture.
- Stir in eggs, vanilla, salt, then mix in flour. Fold in extra chocolate.
- Pour the batter into a 9×9-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper (NOT foil)
Expert Tips
- Do not use aluminum foil; the brownies will get too brown around the edges. Instead, use parchment paper in a metal pan.
- You know your brownies are done when they’re a light golden on top and are not wet-looking. You can try the toothpick test 1-inch from the edge of the pan (not in the center)
- You could even make these into white chocolate brown butter brownies if you want.
Storage
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze them – defrost on counter. Freezing will not affect the taste or texture.
FAQ
You can swap the white chocolate chips for anything – use an equal amount of other walnuts or pecans, or even chocolate chips or chopped Oreos.
Until the top is lightly golden and puffed and no longer wet looking.

Ingredients
- 6 ounces (170g) premium white chocolate, broken into pieces
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (124g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (180g) white chocolate chips
- Additional premium white chocolate or white chocolate chips for drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch metal pan with parchment paper. Do not use foil; the brownies will get too brown around the edges.
- Place white chocolate and butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. This will take approximately 3 minutes depending on your microwave.
- You can also mix together on the stovetop using a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Stir in eggs and vanilla, then slowly stir in flour. Stir in chocolate chips and spread in prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and puffed. Cool completely before removing from the pan and decorating.
- To decorate the tops, melt 2 ounces premium baking chocolate (or 1/4 cup white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil) in a small microwave safe bowl and heat on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Place melted white chocolate in a sandwich bag and cut off a tiny edge of the tip and drizzle over cooled bars. Let set then slice.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Recipe Notes
-
- Do not use foil; the brownies will get too brown around the edges. Instead, use parchment paper in a metal pan.
