Dark and White


Ingredients
  • 5 ounces dark chocolate (semisweet or bittersweet), chopped
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup superfine sugar
  • eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate morsels or white chocolate
Chocolate Satin Glaze
  • 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate morsels
Directions
  1. Preheat heat the oven to 350 F and grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. Put the dark chocolate and butter into a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high (or melt in a saucepan over gentle heat, stirring constantly). Stir in the vanilla and sugar, then add the eggs and yolk, one at a time, stirring after each addition.
  3. Sift together the flour and salt and mix this into the chocolate mixture with the white chocolate morsels. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
  4. To prepare the glaze, melt the dark chocolate and butter together and spread over the cooled brownies. Melt the white chocolate morsels, and using a teaspoon trail 5 lines horizontally across the brownies about 1/2 inch apart. With a blunt knife draw vertical lines lightly through the chocolate glaze to create a pattern. Cut into 16 squares.
