Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that they rise evenly.
- Do not overbake the brownies. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly brownies. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- Be creative with your decorations. You can use candy, sprinkles, or even edible glitter to decorate your brownies.
