Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Batter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
Sift in flour and salt, fold gently until combined. Stir in chopped white chocolate. If using, add activated charcoal or black cocoa to create a soft grey hue.

Step 2: Bake the Brownies
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Avoid over-baking to keep brownies soft.

Step 3: Add Rose Petals
Once slightly cooled (about 5 minutes), sprinkle rose petals evenly on top. Optional: drizzle melted white chocolate over petals for an elegant finish.

Step 4: Cool and Serve
