Expert Tips
- You'll know the brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the baked brownies comes out clean or with a few fudgy crumbs.
- Make sure you allow the brownies to cool completely before decorating.
- Chilling them in the fridge for about 30 minutes makes cutting even easier, preventing crumbs and ensuring clean edges.
- If the cutter sticks, lightly grease it or dust it with cocoa powder for a smooth release!

How to Store, Freeze and Reheat
Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container. Layer parchment or wax paper between stacked brownies to prevent sticking.
Refrigerator: You can also store them in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
Freezer: The decorated brownies won't stand up well to freezing. But you could store them before decorating by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Thawing Tips: Thaw at room temperature and then decorate as directed.
