👨🍳 Chef's Tips
- Use quality dark chocolate (at least 60–70% cocoa) for a rich brownie flavor.
- Avoid overbaking the dessert: the center should remain slightly moist, ensuring the brownies are tender, not dry.
- It's best to bring eggs and butter to room temperature — room temperature ingredients combine more evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter after adding flour, to maintain a dense yet soft texture.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting — this ensures even slices and enhances the flavor.
