How to cut brownies without them falling apart?

Cutting brownies can be a tricky business. If you're not careful, they can fall apart into a crumbly mess. However, there are a few simple tricks you can use to ensure that your brownies come out of the pan perfectly intact.

• First, make sure that your brownies are thoroughly cooked. If they're undercooked, they'll be too soft and fragile to withstand being cut.
• Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold together better.
• Use a sharp clean knife to cleanly slice through the brownies. A dull knife will cause the brownies to tear, while a dirty knife will cause them to stick.
• Gently run the knife under hot water before making each cut. This will help to prevent the knife from sticking and will also give you nice clean edges
• My favorite ways to cut brownies are to use either a serrated knife or a plastic knife...yes, a plastic knife.

How to decorate brownies?

To make your brownies extra special for this spooky holiday, there are a few simple steps you can follow. First, choose a festive cookie cutter to cut your brownies into shapes like ghosts, bats, or pumpkins. Then, decorate the brownies with icing, sprinkles, or other Halloween-themed toppings.

You can also get creative by using food coloring to tint the icing or adding miniature chocolate chips for eyes. With a little effort, you can turn ordinary brownies into ghoulishly good Halloween treats!

Storing, Freezing, Thawing and Reheating Tips

Pantry: The best way to store brownies is in an airtight container. This will protect them from drying out or becoming stale. If you are stacking multiple layers of brownies, be sure to place a sheet of wax paper between each layer so they don't stick together.

Refrigerator: Brownies can be stored at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Freezer: For longer storage, you can wrap the brownies in freezer paper and store them in the freezer for up to six months.

Thawing and Reheating: When you're ready to enjoy a frozen brownie, simply thaw it at room temperature or heat it in the microwave for a few seconds.
