  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking brownies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they'll be dry and overcooked.
  • Let the brownies cool completely. Before you cut and serve the brownies, let them cool completely. This will help them to set and firm up.
  • Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings. Brownies are delicious on their own, but they're even better when served with toppings like ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
