FAQs
1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine instead of unsalted butter, but butter will give you a richer flavor.
2. How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done. If it comes out clean, they might be overbaked.
3. Can I add frosting to these brownies?
