Notes
*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g to the measurement for each cup of flour.
- Make sure to beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla for a full 10 minutes!
- The chocolate should not be hot when adding to the egg mixture.
- Use a cake tester to see when the brownies are done baking.
- You can cut the brownies into any shape you'd like! We chose rectangles to be more "book" like, but you can cut them into squares if you need more brownies.
- When whisking the cocoa powder into the melted chocolate for the decoration, make sure to whisk until it's completely smooth!
- Since there is coconut oil in the chocolate, it takes a while for the chocolate to set.
- Make sure to place a dot of chocolate under the candy eye to help it stay!
