FAQs
Can I use white chocolate chips instead of bars?
Yes, but high-quality white chocolate bars melt more smoothly for a richer texture.
Why did my brownies turn out cakey instead of fudgy?
Overmixing the batter or overbaking can make them more cake-like. Mix gently and bake just until set.
Can I make these brownies gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.
Do I need to use unsalted butter?
Yes, unsalted butter allows better control of the salt content. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt.
How do I get clean brownie slices?
Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for neat slices.
Can I add mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit?
Absolutely! Macadamia nuts, coconut flakes, or dried cranberries work well.
Should I refrigerate the brownies for a denser texture?
Yes! Chilling them for a few hours after baking enhances their fudginess.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, double the ingredients and bake in a 9×13-inch pan, adjusting the bake time slightly.
Can I add a caramel layer?
Yes, drizzle caramel over the batter before baking for extra indulgence.
