Tips

• For extra fudgy brownies, do not overbake. They will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
• Using brewed coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without making the brownies taste like coffee.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in a microwave for 20 seconds if desired.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
