Notes

Storage and Freezing

Storing - Let these decadent brownies cool to room temperature before covering them with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Store them on the counter, lasting 3-4 days.

Freezing - Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. So whenever you need a brownie kick, you can take them out of the freezer, let them thaw, and boom! You have brownies.
