FAQs
Can I use unsweetened chocolate instead of cocoa powder?
Yes, you can melt unsweetened chocolate and use it in place of the cocoa powder, but you may need to adjust the sugar in the recipe.
How can I tell when my brownies are done?
You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done. If it comes out clean, they may be overbaked.
