These White Chocolate Chip Brownies are fudgy and sweet and basically irresistible. Made from scratch with real chocolate, you'll almost be embarrassed by how quickly they're gone.
I love a boxed brownie. In fact, sometimes I think they're actually better than homemade brownies. Even though I love to bake, I've never felt any shame in using a store-bought mix. It's what I grew up on, and I think they're totally delicious.
But I also love the care and attention that goes into baking something from scratch. It's a way for me to transmit my positive energy to another person. It's also a way for me to relax and let my mind wander. Baking really requires all your focus, so I can let everything else fall away while I measure, stir, and pour.
What makes these White Chocolate Chip Brownies so awesome?
These White Chocolate Chip Brownies are totally worth every extra minute it takes to make them from scratch with melted butter and chocolate. They're so fudgy in the middle, and the contrast of the bitter dark chocolate and the pure sweetness of the white chocolate chips meets in the middle for the perfect harmony of flavor. I kept wanting to go back to the tin and get just one more.
I cut them into 16 squares, which I think is the perfect size. These are excellent for sharing and would go over great for an afternoon treat, something to share at a meeting, or even as a fun little dessert with ice cream and chocolate sauce. It doesn't really matter when you serve them because you'll never be able to stop thinking about them anyway.
Magical Properties of White Chocolate
Dark chocoate is known for sensuality and romance, but white chocolate is a little more light and playful. It corresponds to water and the planet Venus, as well as the heart chakra, so it's definitely got strong emotional vibes. However, white chocolate is more often used in spells for friendship, self-love, and fun. Work with white chocolate when you want to create a sense of play and connect with your inner child.

Tips for making White Chocolate Chip Brownies
Making these brownies is a great opportunity for busy minds to practice a bit of mindfulness. The first thing you'll need to do is melt some butter and chocolate in a small saucepan. The next thing you need to do is let it cool. I never let it cool for long enough and sometimes end up with weird eggy bits in my brownies because the mixture was too hot when I added it to the eggs and sugar. So melt your butter and chocolate, take it off the heat, then set a timer for 10 minutes and actually leave the kitchen.
Now that you've given hot stuff proper time to cool, you'll want to whisk together eggs and sugar until their foamy. Add the vanilla, then slowly pour in the chocolate mixture while you're stirring. You can stop to scrape out the last of the chocolate, but keeping things moving and incorporating them slowly helps avoid that scrambled egg situation. Then fold in your flour and salt, followed by the chocolate chips.
Pour this into an 8x8 inch baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes. As far as I'm concerned, it should be illegal to overbake brownies. You want to see a crust on top, and it shouldn't be wobbly, but you want them to stay fudgy in the middle. The hardest part is letting them cool completley before you cut them into squares and serve.
These White Chocolate Chip Brownies are going to disappear so fast, you'll think it's magic. After all, it was your magic that made them so awesome in the first place. You've gotta give them a try.
