White chocolate has always been my favorite dessert flavor over traditional chocolate, but my wife absolutely loves classic chocolate chips. These chocolate and White Chocolate Brownies have become the perfect compromise in our house. It truly is the best of both worlds in one easy dessert bar.
If you love this chocolate dessert, my Chocolate Lava Cake in the slow cooker and Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats are two other great options.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- They aren't too sweet. Since the white chocolate is already sweet, I only added ¼ cup of sugar. That is much less than traditional brownies.
- The contrast of the dark chocolate chips works really well against the white chocolate base.
- Fudgy and chewy - with two kinds of chocolate.
- Anyone can make - Easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.
What are white chocolate brownies?
These chocolate and white chocolate brownies are not a blondie. They are brownies made with white chocolate chips in place of regular chocolate (in this case, mixed with chocolate chips). They have the same texture and flavor as a brownie, simply in white chocolate form.
Equipment
- KitchenAid Mixer - Perfect for mixing white chocolate brownie batter.
- Pyrex Measuring Cups - Essential for perfect measurements.
- Mixing Bowls - Perfect for prepping ingredients and melting chocolate.
- 8 x8 Baking Dish - Perfect for baking and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
- Butter: Use a good-quality salted butter here.
- Eggs: To help bind the brownies together.
- Sugar: For the sweetness to be just right.
- Vanilla: To give a nice flavor burst.
- Flour: I used all-purpose flour for this recipe.
- Salt: To bring the balance needed to the sweetness.
- Baking Powder: To help the brownie rise a bit.
- White Chocolate Chips: Use a chocolate that you love the taste of.
- Dark Chocolate Chips: If you don't like dark, feel free to adjust with semi-sweet here.
- Ghirardelli White Chocolate Bar: Pick a chocolate bar you love.
Tim's Tip: For the best flavor, make sure to use a high-quality white chocolate baking bar and not chips. It melts more smoothly and is extra rich.
How to Make White Chocolate Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line or grease an 8x8 baking dish.
2. Melt the butter and the white chocolate bar in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals (15 seconds), stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
3. Mix the egg and sugar in a medium bowl with a hand-held mixer until light, fluffy, and foamy (about 2 minutes).
4. Add the melted white chocolate mixture and vanilla to the egg mixture until smooth.
5. Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
6. Fold in both the white chocolate chips and chocolate chips into the mixture.
7. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until set in the center.

Variations of White chocolate brownies
- Holiday Version - Add some festive sprinkles or crush peppermint candies.
- Add nuts - Chopped pecans or walnuts add a great crunch if desired.
- Use Almond extract - In place of vanilla, use almond extract for a different flavor profile.
- Other Chip Flavors - Add in some caramel chips or toffee flavored chips.
Tim's Expert Tips
- Don't overbake - These white chocolate brownies are best with soft and fudgy.
- Let them cool (as hard as it might be) before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use a sharp knife and clean in between cuts.
- While melting the chocolate in the microwave, be sure to stir in 15-20 second increments to keep it from becoming grainy.
- Use a good chocolate - Make sure to enjoy the taste of it.
- Use parchment paper - this helps with easily lifting out the brownies (and it makes cleanup easier).
Storage
