Time 2h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
⅔ cup unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips, divided
3 drops red food coloring, or as desired
3 drops blue food coloring, or as desired
3 tablespoons red and blue candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®), or as desired, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Grease parchment paper with vegetable oil.
  • Melt butter in a microwave in a microwave-safe bowl; stir until smooth. Pour in sugar, cocoa powder, water, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
  • Pour eggs into batter and mix until batter becomes shiny. Stir in flour quickly until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to cool completely, about 30 minutes more.
  • Place 1/2 cup white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until well blended and mixture is smooth and yogurt-like in consistency.
  • Stir red food coloring into white chocolate chips until it reaches your desired shade.
  • Remove brownies from the refrigerator. Spread red-colored chocolate over the top in a stripe. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon red and blue candy-coated chocolate pieces before it hardens.
  • Melt another 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in a microwave. Stir until smooth.
  • Stir blue food coloring into white chocolate chips until it reaches your desired shade. Spread onto top of brownies for a second stripe. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon andy-coated chocolate pieces.
  • Melt remaining 1/2 white chocolate chips in a microwave. Spread onto top of brownies for a third stripe. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of candy-coated chocolate pieces.
  • Transfer brownies to a refrigerator to allow chocolate to harden for at least 30 minutes.
