Notes
- Tip 1: There's no need for baking soda in this recipe because the eggs act as a rising agent.
- Tip 2: The original recipe doesn’t call for salt, but you may add a tad bit if you’d like.
- Tip 3: This recipe calls for the brownies to be cut into 12 pieces, but they are very sweet so you may want to cut them into additional 4ths for smaller bites.
