Recipe calls for 2 (1oz) squares of white chocolate... I have one wrapped "square" of white chocolate wrapped in it's foil, and that square has 4 squares. Do I use 2 of the little squares, or buy some more white chocolate so I have 2 wrapped larger squares of 4?

thanks!!!
Susan :)
 
Check the BoxI'd look on the box. It should say how much each foiled piece is. When I made these, the chocolate I used was one whole foiled piece because the box said each foiled piece was 2oz. It did take me awhile to get the math in my head straight to figure that out, lol. :o

THe box should say what each "unit" weight or at least the total weight. Use the amount that equals 2 ounces.

Thanks for trying ladies~ I think it was too old. I made it, tasted it and dumped it. :) Decided to make the 2-step fudge and spritzed that in! :)
 
when you do the topping make sure that your micro container is completely dry when you start. It is true with any chocolate, but it seems like it really makes a difference in the white especially. If there is any water in the bowl, it will make it grainy and lumpy. This recipe goes over so well for me that I would really recomend trying it again. Although I am making them with peanut butter 2 step fudge on top now. Good solution I'd say.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between using 2 small squares and 1 large square of white chocolate in the Tuxedo Brownie recipe?

Using 2 small squares allows for more even distribution of chocolate throughout the brownies, while 1 large square can create a richer, more concentrated chocolate flavor in each bite. The choice depends on your preference for chocolate intensity.

Can I substitute the white chocolate squares with white chocolate chips?

Yes, you can substitute white chocolate squares with white chocolate chips. However, keep in mind that the melting properties may vary slightly, so you may need to adjust the melting time to achieve a smooth consistency.

How does the amount of white chocolate affect the texture of the brownies?

The amount of white chocolate can influence the creaminess and richness of the brownies. Using more white chocolate (like 1 large square) can result in a denser and fudgier texture, while using 2 small squares may yield a lighter brownie with a more balanced texture.

Is there a specific brand of white chocolate recommended for the Tuxedo Brownie recipe?

While there is no specific brand required, using high-quality white chocolate will enhance the flavor and texture of your brownies. Brands like Ghirardelli or Baker's are often recommended for their smooth melting properties and rich taste.

Can I adjust the sweetness of the brownies by changing the amount of white chocolate?

Yes, adjusting the amount of white chocolate can affect the sweetness of the brownies. If you prefer a less sweet brownie, you can reduce the amount of white chocolate used, but be mindful that this may also alter the overall flavor and texture.
