Notes

Recipe Notes: 
  • Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrap with plastic wrap at room temperature for 4-5 days. 
  • To Freeze: Place cooled brownies in an airtight container or heavy-duty ziplock bag. You can also freeze the whole pan of brownies if you prefer. Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, let the brownies sit out on the counter for a few hours.
  • Cut the brownies out with a star cookie cutter to make these even more festive!
  • Place parchment paper on the bottom of your baking dish for easy cleanup and the brownies will lift right up. 
  • Use a plastic knife to cut the brownies for a clean cut. You will be amazed at how perfect the brownies will look.
