Ingredients
- 9 ounces white chocolate baking bars not chips or almond bark, divided
- ½ cup butter salted
- ⅔ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups pecans divided, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- Chop the white chocolate into small pieces (about the size of small raisins). Put 6 ounces of the white chocolate (about 1 scant cup, depending on how small the chocolate is chopped - there should be about 1/2 cup remaining to stir into the batter later) in a large bowl with the butter. Microwave for a minute or two (watching closely so it doesn't burn and stirring every 30 seconds or so) until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
- Stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix well. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just briefly. Add 1 cup of the pecans and the remaining white chocolate pieces while there are still lots of flour streaks remaining. Stir until the batter is combined.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining pecans over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the brownies are set on the sides and in the middle and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few sticky crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan. Slice and serve or store covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator. They will stay moist for several days.
Notes
- Chocolate: white chocolate chips do not melt well so don't use them in this recipe - baking chocolate is what you need (not almond bark). I use the Ghirardelli brand of white chocolate usually found above or nearby the chocolate chips in the baking aisle.
