Recipe Tips:
- Prepared Pan – Prepare the baking dish by spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper. This makes it easy to remove and slice.
- Melting Chocolate – Use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the melting chips for best results. Melt in 30 second intervals stirring after each time.
Frequently Asked Questions:
For best results, we recommend removing brownies from the baking pan with the parchment paper. Then slice the brownies before the white chocolate has cooled. This allows you to have clean slices.
