Can I make these brownies in advance?

Absolutely! You can bake these brownies a day in advance and keep them well-sealed at room temperature. The flavors often improve with some resting time, and they are easy to cut into heart shapes the next day.

Can I use a different pan size?

Yes, you can use a different pan size! Just adjust the baking time accordingly. A larger pan may result in thinner brownies, while a smaller pan will yield thicker brownies.

What if I don’t have a heart-shaped cookie cutter?

If you don’t have a heart-shaped cookie cutter, you can cut them into squares or any shape you prefer. Alternatively, use a knife to create heart shapes directly from the brownies.

How can I store the brownies?

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer freshness! Simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag.

What makes these brownies fudgy?

The rich combination of melted chocolate chips and butter creates a fudgy texture. Baking them until they are just set results in a moist brownie that is soft and chewy.
