Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead Magic: You can prepare the brownie mix and assemble the layers in advance. Just pop it in the oven whenever you’re ready for fresh brownies!
• Slicing Tricks: For clean cuts, use a plastic knife or run your knife under hot water before slicing. This will keep the brownies from sticking!
• Storage Suggestions: Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week (if they last that long!).
• Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have graham crackers? Try crushed digestive biscuits or even oatmeal cookies for a unique twist!
