Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 Tbsp red food coloring
  • For the swirl: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (melted) or 4 oz cream cheese + 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line an 8×8‑inch pan with parchment.
  2. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, beat melted butter with both sugars until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and red food coloring; mix until velvety.
  4. Gently fold in dry ingredients just until combined.
  5. Pour half the batter into the pan.
  6. For swirl topping: drizzle melted white chocolate, or spoon cream cheese mixture over the batter.
  7. Pour remaining batter over top. Use a knife to swirl for a marble effect. Sprinkle nuts if using.
  8. Bake 25–30 minutes until edges are set and a toothpick returns moist crumbs.
  9. Cool completely before slicing into 9–12 squares for clean, fudgy bars.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix—fold gently to retain fudgy texture.
  • Use melted white chocolate for a smooth swirl or cream cheese+powdered sugar for tangy ribbons.
  • Let brownies cool fully before slicing to ensure sharp edges.
  • For bite-sized treats, bake in mini muffin tins.
  • Store at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate for firmer texture.
