Notes

How to Store Chewy Fudgy Brownies

Seal the deal by keeping those scrumptious squares in an airtight container at room temperature; they'll hold the fort for 4-5 days. Just make sure they are cooled completely before storing them.

Wanna enjoy them slowly? Slide leftovers into the fridge if you need them to last longer. Just let them come back to room temp before relishing!

How Long Will They Last in the Fridge?

They will last in a fridge for up to 6 days.

Can I Freeze?

For sure boos. Wrap them individually with plastic wrap then toss into a freezer bag and label with the date. They should last up to 3 months this way.
