I also promise you that this matcha swirl is super easy to create. It’s really basic, melted white chocolate, a touch of coconut oil and of course, matcha powder. You pour your melted dark chocolate over the brownie base first and then dollop your matcha mixture over the dark chocolate. Then you take a wooden skewer or butter knife and gently swirl those matcha dollops into the darker chocolate and you’ll create these awesome swirls. They kind of remind me of the musical Wicked, right? It’s the green and dark chocolate, so epic!

How will you enjoy your matcha chocolate brownies? Over the weekend with family and friends? Or throughout your week so enjoy as a sneaky little sweet treat? I’ll be doing both! Enjoy this recipe friends! x
