Helpful Tips

If you prefer a more gooey center, bake the brownies for a few minutes less. For those seeking a crunchier texture, leave them in the oven a bit longer but monitor closely to prevent burning.

Feeling creative? You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or hazelnuts for a fun variation.

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze them for up to a month for longer storage.
