Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the taste of your brownies. Choose a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, dark flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the brownies bake evenly.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature: Brownies are best enjoyed within 3 days of baking.
  • To make the chocolate ganache: Simply heat the cream and butter in a saucepan until the butter is melted. Then, remove from heat and stir in the chocolate until it is melted and smooth.
  • To dip the brownies in the chocolate ganache: Hold each brownie by the edges and dip it into the ganache. Allow the excess ganache to drip off, then place the brownie on a wire rack to set.
