EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Unsweetened baking chocolate contains 50 to 58 percent cocoa butter. It's bitter in flavor and is used primarily in baking. Look for it in boxes in the baking aisle next to the chips.

To keep brownies longer, wrap tightly, label and freeze up to 6 months.

This is an excellent recipe; usually get great reviews when Ive made them in the past. I haven't made them for while, but the baking time that is listed is so totally wrong. I baked them for 35 mins as the recipe calls for not to over bake. They cooled for 2 hours like the recipe states. When I cut them, the center was gooey. Some of the outside were the way they were supposed to be, cake like brownies. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you in advance!
