- Brownies are done when a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake them.

- Be sure your brownies have fully cooled before slicing them. Otherwise, they'll fall apart.
FAQ
Cakey brownies have more dry ingredients, while fudgy brownies have more fat and a higher moisture content. For fudgy brownies, add a higher amount of ingredients like eggs, butter, chocolate, or oil.
You can refrigerate brownies, but you shouldn't. While it may seem like refrigerating brownies is the perfect way to extend their shelf life, all it does is make them dry and crumbly. No one will eat them.
Store your brownies in an air-tight container at room temperature with a slice of white bread. The moisture from the white bread will keep the brownies moist.
