Decadent fudgy chocolate brownies tips

A chocolate brownie is more than just a biscuit or melted chocolate cake, it’s pure decadence. A top tip when adding anything to warm eggs, ensure that you temper the eggs by pouring a tablespoon or two of the warm ingredients to the eggs to slowly bring the temperature up. You can still get creative and add some chocolate chips into the mixture but you can just decorate with them too. Serve them with some whipped cream or ice cream and if you’re adventurous, some flaky finishing salt.
