Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate bits with dark chocolate for a more intense taste. If you don't have graham crackers, crushed digestive biscuits work well too. Make sure to crush the graham crackers finely to ensure an even texture in the brownies.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. You can also serve them with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added flair. For a fun twist, serve alongside fruit or a light fruit salad to balance the richness.
Storage & Reheating
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them, where they can last for up to two weeks. If you prefer them warm, simply reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before serving to bring back their gooey texture.
