Recipe FAQs

What type of chocolate chunks are included?

Both dark chocolate chunks with at least 60% cocoa and milk chocolate chunks are folded into the batter for rich chocolate bursts.

How can I make the brownies fudgier?

Baking nearer the lower end of the 28–32 minute range yields a more moist and fudgy texture.

Can these brownies be made vegetarian?

Yes, the ingredients used here are vegetarian-friendly, containing no meat or gelatin.

What does folding the dry ingredients in gently accomplish?

Gently folding prevents overmixing, helping maintain a tender, dense texture rather than a tough crumb.

Are there any suggestions to enhance the chocolate flavor?

A pinch of instant espresso powder can be added to intensify the chocolate notes without altering sweetness.
