TEXAS BROWNIES

Tips for Making Perfect Texas Brownies:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This is the most important ingredient in brownies, so don't skimp. Use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
- Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
