Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare a 17-inch by 11-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the granulated sugar, chopped semisweet chocolate, and water. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the neutral oil, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until well-blended.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then stir in the egg whites until fully combined and velvety.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and baking powder until just combined; do not overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin layer.
- Sprinkle the top with semisweet chocolate chips and half of the crushed candy canes.
Baking
- Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan every 10 minutes, until the center feels firm to the touch.
- Allow the brownie brittle to cool completely before slicing.
Finishing Touch
- Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled brownie brittle, topping with the remaining crushed candy canes.
