Notes
How To Store:
Since these brownies are so moist, it’s best to keep them in a zip-top bag or airtight container and in the fridge for 5-7 days. You can also store them in the freezer in a freezer safe bag for up to 2 months!
Expert Tips:
- *A bake even strip will help your brownies bake more evenly and keep them from getting crunchy on the outside.
- Be careful not to over mix the brownie batter.
- If you’re worried the brownies may stick, place a piece of parchment in the bottom of your pan and spray with baking spray!
- These brownies are very fudgy. If you like them a little more done, leave in an additional 5 minutes.
- To get clean slices, be sure to wipe off your knife after each cut!
- Make sure you use peppermint extract, not peppermint oil.
