Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The cocoa solids content of your chocolate will directly affect the flavor of your brownies. Opt for a chocolate with a cocoa solids content of 70% or higher for the richest, most decadent flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making your brownies tough. 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 will dry out the brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them set properly and prevent them from crumbling.
  • 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.
