Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious brownies: delicious cinnamon roll blondies.

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Go for high-quality cocoa powder; it makes all the difference in flavor.
Granulated Sugar: This is the sweetness that balances out the richness of the cocoa.
Butter: Use unsalted butter for better control over the saltiness in your brownies.
Eggs: Fresh eggs help create a rich texture in your brownies; room temperature works best.
All-Purpose Flour: Be sure to measure correctly to avoid dense brownies; spooning flour into your cup helps.
Red and Blue Food Coloring: Gel food coloring provides vibrant colors without altering the consistency much.
White Chocolate Chips: These add sweetness and create a lovely contrast against the dark brownie base.
Vanilla Extract: A splash enhances all flavors; always choose pure vanilla for the best taste.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Mixing Your Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth. This mixture should look glossy and inviting.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Stir in eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The batter should become thick and luxurious—perfect brownie material.

Sift in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in all-purpose flour until just combined. Avoid overmixing; we want those soft edges that everyone loves!

Create Your Colors: Divide half of your batter into two separate bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl and blue to another. Swirl these colors back into the remaining brownie batter using a knife.

Baking Time!: Pour your colorful mixture into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean but still fudgy at the bottom.

Let cool completely before slicing into squares. Enjoy watching everyone marvel at these stunning Patriotic Brownie Bombs! For more inspiration, check out this Shamrock Lasagna Dessert recipe.
