Notes
- Choose quality chocolate chips to enhance flavor and texture.
- Do not use sugar-free chocolate chips to avoid bitterness and dull tops.
- Use an 8x4 inch bread pan for proper thickness; larger pans yield thin brownies.
- Bake until a toothpick shows moist crumbs for optimal fudginess.
- Store covered at room temperature up to 4 days; brownies freeze well for extended storage.
