There are two types of people when it comes to brownies, the ones who like fudge with a crust, and the ones who like them gooey. I am all for the crust and fudge on the inside.
Making the brownie out of the box of course it is so so easy, but you know what’s even easier. Make a large baking pan of brownies, cut them, and freeze them. The brownies will remain fresh and tasteful if stored in an air-tight container for up to 4 months.
I make mine on a large baking pan, I have an adjustable frame (buy it from Amazon here) which I create a base with foil paper, brush it with butter, and tadaaa, you get 48 brownies out of it.
I like to have them in my freezer, which is a life savior for any last-minute dinner plans, I always have something fresh and homemade to bring. If you pull them out of the freezer as soon as you know about the dinner, and keep them at room temperature, by the time you get to the dinner they will be perfect. On the way there stop at the grocery store and buy vanilla ice cream for a perfect combo 🙂
