Some Important Tips for Ghirardelli Chocolate brownies:

• The brownies are best baked in a 9×9 pan. You can also use an 8 × 8 pan. It also gives you the best brownies.
• You can make brownies in a 9 × 9 pan but the brownies would be a bit. The Baking time of brownies in a 9×13 pan is about 30 – 35 mins.
• To check if your brownies are done, pierce them with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the brownies are done. But if it comes out a little moist, bake the brownies for 3 – 5 more minutes and check again.
• To make the brownies even better, you can make their double batch in a 9×9 pan. A double batch of brownies gets more caky, soft, and delicious.
• If you’re making a double batch of brownies, you will have to add 2 – 3 eggs into the batter instead of only one.
• You can also top up the brownies with Ghirardelli chocolate squares to make them even more chocolaty.
• You can also add chocolate chips into the batter if your brownie mix doesn’t have them already.
• The best Ghirardelli mixes the double or the triple chocolate mix. They are loaded with small chocolate chunks. So you don’t have to add chocolate chips separately.
• You can add one more egg into the brownie batter to make it more fudgy and caky
• Top up the brownies with some fun topping, like berries, ice cream, whipped cream, candy chunks, chocolate syrup, or any other topping you like, to enhance their flavor.
•  You can also mix M&Ms into the brownie batter to take them to another level of taste and chocolaty richness.

How to store Ghirardelli Chocolate brownies?

To store the brownies overnight, just wrap them up in aluminum foil, butter paper, or place them in an airtight container. If they are not properly covered, they will lose their moisture and will become hard. You can store them in a zip lock bag as well.
