Tips & Tricks

  1. For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them. They will continue to cook as they cool.

  2. Use high-quality chocolate chunks for the best flavor.

  3. Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.

  4. Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent the Nutella from melting.

FAQS

  1. How do I store the brownies?

    Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

  2. Can I freeze the brownies?

    Yes, you can freeze the brownies. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

  3. Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
