Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies. Opt for a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the brownies bake evenly.
  • Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies for 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.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature: Brownies will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
