TIPS for MAKING HOMEMADE BROWNIES

Use a good Cocoa Baking Powder - You can tell a difference!! My favorite is Rodelle but there are tons of great options out there!

Let the Brownies cool before frosting! Otherwise, you end up with a melty mess!!

Use a Plastic Knife to cut the brownies! You'll get clean lines every time!! If you don't have a plastic knife, let your brownies set up in the refrigerator before trying to cut them.

For thicker brownies use an 8x8 or 9x9 pan, for thinner brownies use a 9x13. I usually use a 9x13 pan because thick brownies are too rich for me!

Don't overbake the brownies or they will end up hard and crumbly!
