Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can make these up to a day in advance.
- Make sure the brownies are completely cool before slicing. I usually keep them in the fridge for one hour after they've cooled to make slicing easier.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- You can use a brownie mix and use that instead of making the brownies from scratch. The rest of the recipe will stay as is.
