Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, oil, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add the eggs, vinegar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour and cocoa powder, mixing until no flour is visible. Fold in the white chocolate chips but that is completely optional.
- Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper on the base and sides. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Bake for 25 minutes or when a toothpick is put in the center, come out clean. Take it out of the oven and allow it to cool.

Notes

- Parchment Paper: Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Cool Completely: Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. This prevents them from crumbling.
