FAQ
Make brownies fudgy by adding more fat. Use more eggs, butter, chocolate, or oil to create super moist and fudgy brownies.
Strictly speaking, you CAN refrigerate brownies, you just shouldn't. Refrigerating brownies dries them out and makes them crumbly.
Add a slice of white bread to your container when storing your brownies. The moisture from the bread will keep the brownies from drying out.
