Recipe Notes

For perfect brownies, wait until they're completely cool before cutting! This lets them firm up and keeps them from crumbling when you slice them.

Also, try using a plastic knife to slice the brownies can aid in achieving clean and smooth cuts. Plastic knives are naturally non-stick, allowing them to glide through the brownies without dragging or catching, resulting in neat slices without tearing up the brownies.

You can also try using an electric knife An electric knife can create neater cuts without applying pressure that might damage the delicate texture.

What internal temperature are brownies done?

• Fudgy brownies with a moist and gooey center are done at 160°F.
• Chewy brownies is the most popular texture and are done when the internal temperature reaches 180°F. These brownies will have a soft and chewy center.
• Cakey brownies will have a firmer texture, more like a cake than a fudge and are done at 210°F.

Check the internal temperature using a digital meat thermometer like the one below:

Can I use butter instead of oil in boxed brownie mix?
