- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of the brownies. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
- Don't overcook the brownies: Overcooked brownies will be dry and crumbly. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting: Cutting the brownies while they are still warm will make them fall apart. Let them cool completely before cutting into them.
