RECIPE NOTES & TIPS:

Don't overcook the brownies - otherwise they will become dry.
For fudgy/moist brownies - cook for 25-30 minutes and test with a toothpick which should come out with moist (but not wet) crumbs on it.
The brownies will continue to cook as they cool.
For an extra indulgent treat - serve the brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of double cream.
Storage - store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing - freeze in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave the slices in a container in the fridge overnight, or sit them at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
