These marbled brownies combine dark cocoa batter with sweet white chocolate batter. The swirls run through the squares, for a dessert that looks great and tastes even better.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the Chocolate Brownie Batter
Melt the butter then stir in the sugar.
Whisk in vanilla and eggs until smooth.
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and add the salt, mixing just until combined.
Prepare the White Chocolate Batter
Melt the butter and white chocolate together until smooth.
Let it cool for a few minutes, then, whisk in the eggs, vanilla and sugar.
Stir in the salt and flour until just combined.
Bake the Brownies
Add alternating dollops of each batter into your prepared pan.
Gently swirl the batters together using a knife or skewer, stopping when you have visible streaks of each.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set. Check by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.
Cool the brownies completely before slicing so you get defined swirls and clean edges.
Notes
Line the pan with parchment: Leave some overhang on two opposite sides, so the cooled brownies are easier to lift out.
Sift the cocoa powder: Breaking up any lumps helps the chocolate batter mix evenly. I always sift my flour too, just to make sure it's lump-free.
Use separate spoons: Spoon each batter into the pan with a different spoon to keep the colors distinct before swirling.
