Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect fudgy texture, it's crucial to use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure a rich and intense chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense brownie, so stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a crispy top and chewy interior, bake the brownies for the recommended time. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are done.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them. This will prevent them from crumbling and will give them a chance to set properly.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
