Preparation

  2. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
  3. Enjoy each delicious bite!

Notes

Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream; try adding toasted nuts or fresh berries for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
