Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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.
  • tip 2
    To keep brownies longer, wrap tightly, label and freeze up to 6 months.
