Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chocolate chips instead of unsweetened chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for the two squares of unsweetened chocolate. Just melt the chips gently and fold them into the mixture as directed. This will add a sweeter flavor to your brownies.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they're ready. If it comes out wet with batter, they need more time. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
Can I freeze these brownies?
Absolutely! Allow the brownies to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
