Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix the batter 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 the brownies will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: Cutting the brownies while they are still warm will result in messy, uneven pieces.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: Brownies can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
