Notes
- For the Best Color: Gel food coloring provides a more vibrant red hue than liquid food coloring.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense brownies. Stir until just combined.
- Check for Doneness: A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- For Extra Fudginess: Slightly underbake the brownies and let them cool completely before slicing.
- Enhance the Flavor: Adding ½ teaspoon of espresso powder deepens the chocolate flavor without making them taste like coffee.
- Make It Fancy: Top with cream cheese frosting or serve with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
