BUTTER VS MARGARINE
Don’t skimp on this ingredient….YOU MUST USE REAL BUTTER. WHY? There are several reasons for choosing butter over margarine.
- FLAVOR: Butter provides a rich flavor. BAKERS TIP: Always use unsalted butter when baking. You want to be in control of how much salt is in your recipe.
- FAT CONTENT: Margarine contains more water and less fat, which makes for thin cookies that spread out while baking.
High Quality Cocoa Powder

STORING

STORAGE: You should be fine storing this at room temperature as long as it is tightly covered so that it doesn’t dry out. If you want to store it, covered, in the fridge that would be good too, especially in the summertime.
FREEZE: You can freeze these yummy brownies for later. Let it cool in the fridge for several hours before freezing. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and again with foil level and freeze for 1-2 months. Before serving make sure to let it thaw for about an hour.
