Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your brownies. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
  • For a fun twist, try adding other ingredients to your brownies, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even bacon.
