Polka Dot or White Chocolate Chip Brownie Recipe

In an attempt to “do something different”, I decided to add white chocolate baking chips to my brownies to create a polka dot look. If you find yourself in this same mood, I've provided both my quick fudgy brownie and slow fudgy brownie recipes here. 

Polka Dot Brownies, quick version 

One box, Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Family Size Brownie mix 

½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened or melted

2 large eggs 

¼ cup water

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup white chocolate chips

Place oven rack on middle run setting. Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit.  

Grease 8-inch x 8-inch pan. 

In medium to large bowl add butter, brownie mix, eggs and water. Stir until well blended (about 50 strokes by hand).

Add semi-sweet and white chocolate chips until blended (about 10-15 strokes by hand).

Spread brownie mixture evenly into greased pan. 

Place brownies in middle of oven rack and bake for 31 – 34 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 

Cool completely in pan until cutting and serving. Store any leftovers in air tight container.
