I used 2 (4oz) Ghirardelli white chocolate bars for this, found in the candy aisle of my grocery store! You can use any high quality white chocolate chip or bar!

I am so glad you loved it!

Hi Sheryl, the white chocolate is a key ingredient in these brownies! It flavors and helps the texture, so I would recommend against excluding it (the brownies just won’t turn out!).

It might be that the chocolate used was not a high enough quality. Quality of the chocolate impacts how well it melts and could definitely change the final texture of the brownie. Next time I recommend using a bar of chocolate from a brand like Ghiradelli, Lindt or Cadbury!

The tops should have the textbook crackly brownie texture! As long as a toothpick is coming out mostly clean when pressed into the center, you should be good!

Hi Heidi, if using the 8×8, I would start with a 30 minute bake time, check for doneness and add additional time as needed!
