HOW TO MAKE

- Brownies are done when you can stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out dry, without wet batter stuck to it.
- Let cool for at least 30 mins
Coating and Decorating

- Using a spatula, vigorously mix chocolate as it melts and gets smooth and creamy right before your very eyes!
- If chocolate is not totally melted after 2-3 mins of vigorous mixing. Microwave again for :10 seconds and repeat the process.
- Once chocolate is melted, smooth and creamy….
- Using a toothpick or small 2 prong fork to hold the brownie, carefully coat the brownie with the chocolate using a spoon or spatula.

- To add color swizzles, melt colored or white chocolate in the Microwave following steps 1-4
- Using a knife or thin decorating spatula, scoop up some colored chocolate and vigorously shake back and forth over brownies creating the “swizzled” look. It helps to tap your wrist as you go along. (you may want to practice a few times over the bowl before you attempt on the brownies).
