Notes

INGREDIENT NOTES

Use always unsalted butter in dessert recipes, but make sure you add the salt stated in the recipe as that will balance the sweetness
Use a combination of white and (light or dark) brown sugar for the best texture and beautiful butterscotch flavor
The egg should be used at room temp
Baking powder is not included in this recipe intentionally, so ýour Brownie cupcakes will turn out wonderfully fudge and gooey just like brownies
The quality of the chocolate chips along with the quality of cocoa powder will define the taste of your brownies so try to use high-quality ingredients

TECHNIQUE NOTES

Digital scale is required for a consistent, happy baking experience:)
Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave so you won´t burn it
Always pre-heat your oven and consider using a digital oven thermometer for the best results
Each oven is different so you might need to adjust the baking time slightly
Consider rather slightly under bake your dessert if you prefer it more on the fudge side. Over baking can result in drier texture
