White chocolate brownies are here. No, not a typo, that shouldn’t say blondies. Brownies. If you love white chocolate, these are the treat for YOU.
So what is a white chocolate brownie? Exactly what you might expect. When making brownies we use cocoa powder or melted chocolate. When you bake blondies, you leave those out unless you are adding chocolate chips. Frequently brown sugar, or mix of white and brown sugars are used. In white chocolate brownies, we use melted white chocolate in lieu of melted semi sweet chocolate. The result is a chewy fudgy bar with that beautiful white chocolate flavor.
White chocolate can be notoriously cloying, but I took steps to assure they are not overly sweet yet also still give that white chocolate flavor. If you love brownies, and blondies, you definitely should try these!
These white chocolate brownies are utterly chewy and a little fudgy and if you are a white chocolate lover, you will be in heaven. They have both wonderful texture and flavor and even if white chocolate isn’t your favorite I think you will thoroughly enjoy these.

White Chocolate Brownies Key Ingredients
- White Chocolate Bar – Personally I love using these Lindt White Chocolate bars however you can use whatever brand you prefer. Just make sure for the portion of chocolate you are melting you are using good quality actual white chocolate. I would sway you away from chocolate chips.
- White Chocolate Chips – I know I just said don’t use white chocolate chips, but you do need some to add to the batter just before baking. These won’t melt during bake time and will leave you with bites that have an extra bit of white chocolate in them.
- Salt – Salt is going to help us balance the flavor of these. It’s not part of the recipe but you could even sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top of the bars as they come out of the oven.
