Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, oil, and egg.
- Beat with a spoon or mixer for 50 strokes.
- Add 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and coarsely chopped white baking bar; mix well.
- Spread the batter evenly in the greased pan.

- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with finely chopped white baking bar.
- Let stand for 2 minutes to soften, then spread evenly over the brownies.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies, checking for doneness a few minutes early. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds make great substitutes. Ensure the ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. To enhance flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter, reminiscent of flavors found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These Black and White Brownies can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. They pair beautifully with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of sea salt. For a festive touch, serve them alongside a fruit salad or with a cup of coffee for brunch gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for about a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave individual pieces for about 10-15 seconds to restore their gooey texture without drying them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of baking chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile. Just ensure to adjust the sweetness if needed, especially if using dark chocolate, which can be more intense.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when the edges pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to cook slightly once removed from the oven.
Can I add other mix-ins to the brownies?
Absolutely! Feel free to add other mix-ins such as shredded coconut, dried fruits, or even a swirl of peanut butter or caramel for extra flavor. Just keep in mind the balance of wet and dry ingredients to maintain the brownie texture.
