FAQS

  1. Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

    Using milk chocolate will result in a sweeter brownie with a different texture. Dark chocolate is recommended for a rich, intense flavor.

  2. How do I store these brownies?

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

  3. Can I freeze the brownies?

    Yes, you can freeze the brownies for up to 3 months. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container.

  4. What can I add to the brownies for extra flavor?

    You can add nuts, chocolate chips, or a swirl of peanut butter for extra flavor and texture.

  5. How do I know when the brownies are done?

    The brownies are done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
