  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set properly.
  • For extra fudgy brownies, use a 9x9 inch baking pan instead of a 13x9 inch pan.
  • Add a cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter for a delicious variation.
  • Top the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
