Canadian Cooking Adventures Tips

🍫 Use Good Quality Chocolate

Because chocolate is the star ingredient, using quality baking chocolate makes a noticeable difference.

🍓 Fresh Raspberries Work Best

Fresh raspberries hold their shape beautifully and provide bright bursts of flavor throughout the brownies.

🍫 Don’t Overbake

The secret to truly fudgy brownies is removing them from the oven when the center is still slightly soft.

🍓 Chill Before Cutting

For bakery-style squares, refrigerate the brownies for an hour before slicing.

🍫 Add Extra Chocolate Chunks

For even more indulgence, sprinkle additional chocolate chunks over the batter before baking.

---

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
