I did not know it was possible to lust after brownies until I created these. These fudgy milk chocolate rose brownies are rich in milk chocolate flavor, with a very fragile floral flavor, and a hint of salt.

The inspiration.

These fudgy milk chocolate rose brownies are my February mood. Floral and sweet, truly unique. I received a bottle of rose water as a Christmas gift, and have been dreaming of a way to bake it with some chocolate. I've yet to publish a chocolate recipe on the blog, and what better way to introduce a recipe than this one that I adore. Milk chocolate + rose is celebration of the month of February, offering sweet escapism. And unique flavors that are sensory joy with each bite.

The ingredients

• ⅔ cup (85 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup (175 g) unsalted butter,
• 1 ⅕ cups (3000) g granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• ⅓ cup (75 g) dutch processed cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon vanilla bean extract
• 1 ⅓ cup (200 g) dark chocolate chips or rose chocolate chunks
• 1 tablespoon rose water
• OPTIONAL: dried rose buds or candied rose petals for garnish

How to make:

• Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over the sides for easy removal.
• On medium - low setting in a medium - large saucepan, melt your chocolate and butter, stirring consistently. Do not let it bubble or get too hot.
• Remove from heat and add in your cocoa powder
• Next, add your sugar and rose water
• Then, add your flour
• By now, the melted chocolate should have cooled some. If it's cooled, add in your eggs. If it's still hot, let it cool for another minute or two.
• Make sure all ingredients are mixed well and pour batter into your pan.
• Bake for 35 minutes, A wooden skewer inserted into the middle should not come out clean but with a few moist crumbs attached.

Note:

This batter is thick, so if it is underdone, continue to bake as long as needed. I have made these brownies on several occasions, and once or twice I needed to bake them an additional 5 minutes.

I hope you enjoy these chocolate + roses, all wrapped in a delicious brownie.
