Tips for the best brownies in Valentine’s Day

The first thing to remember about these brownies is to have fun! Garnish and decorate them as you wish, letting your creativity shine.

Here are some other things to remember:

• Use ingredients at room temperature. Adjust the eggs and butter early. If they are at room temperature, they will incorporate more evenly into the dough.

• Do not too much. Stir in the dough until the ingredients are combined. (Especially when you mix the wet and dry.) Surminging can cause lean and pasty brownies instead of Fudgy.

• Sift dry ingredients. Always sift the cocoa powder, flour and other dry ingredients to eliminate lumps. This will guarantee a fluid and even.

• Lightly undergrade the brownies. It is preferable to slightly sub-account than an over-brown. Sub-subsidized brownies will continue to cook for several minutes after leaving the oven. So check them early!

• Cooling is crucial. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting – especially if you cut them in the hearts. If they are hot, the cuts will not be treated.

• Have fun experimenting! Consider adding a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to improve chocolate flavor or experimenting with different types of chocolate.

• Personalize the fillings. Instead of Glaze, try a melted chocolate or caramel.

How to store

Do not be surprised if you have no leftovers – these brownies are that GOOD!

For maximum freshness, keep the brownies not cut. Wrap them closely with plastic film, then a layer of aluminum foil. Then store using one of the methods below.

To store: Place the brownies completely cooled in an airtight container. Add a slice of bread to maintain moisture. If you are already cut, separate the layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking. Keep at room temperature for 2 to 4 days or in the refrigerator up to a week.

To freeze: Firmly wrap the cooled brownies in a double layer of plastic film. Then wrap them again in a layer of aluminum foil. Place the wrapped brownies in a bag or container in freezer and freeze up to 2 months. Déagorate at room temperature for several hours before serving.
