Tips

You can put your favorite nuts, chocolate chips, or even peanut butter on top before baking. It makes the brownies taste even more amazing.

To make cleaning up a breeze, you can put parchment paper in the pan before baking. It keeps the pan clean.

Classic Fudge Brownies are delicious by themselves, but they’re also yummy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some hot fudge sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.

Food and Drink Pairings

You can try These brownies with a cup of coffee because the coffee’s slight bitterness goes well with the brownies’ sweetness. But if you like it classic, have them with cold milk, it’s always a good match.

FAQ

Can I use cocoa mix instead of cocoa powder?

Nope, it’s better to use cocoa powder because the cocoa mix has sugar and other stuff that will change how your brownies turn out. Go with unsweetened cocoa powder for the best brownies.

How to Store These Classic Fudge Brownies?

If you want to keep your brownies fresh, put them in a container that closes tight and leave them at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to keep them longer, you can put them in the fridge for a week or freeze them for up to three months.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

You can, but remember that whole wheat flour will make your brownies a bit heavier and have a nuttier taste.
