Tips for the best Ghirardelli brownies

• Line the baking dish with parchment paper to help easily remove the brownies from the dish once they have finished baking.
• Don’t over mix the brownie batter. Stir all of the ingredients until just combined. Over mixing can cause them to become hard.
• Make sure not to cook them too long. This can also make the brownies hard and not chewy.
• Pan size makes a difference in the thickness of the brownies. If you prefer thicker brownies, bake them in a smaller pan, like an 8×8-inch. You will probably need to add some additional bake time since they will be thicker.
• Have a large crowd? You can double the recipe, just be sure to bake in a 9×13-inch baking pan.

How to store brownies

Store: Let the brownies completely cool before storing them in an airtight container. You can leave them at room temperature. If you store them in the refrigerator they could become hard in texture.

Freeze: You can freeze brownies by placing them in a freezer safe bag or container. They will last 3 months in the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature to thaw.

How to serve brownies

Brownies are obviously delicious by themselves. We also love serving them warm in a bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup for an out of this world brownie sundae.

You can also try topping with whipped cream or brownie frosting for even more rich chocolate flavor.
