FAQs

Can I use homemade brownie mix instead of boxed mix?

Sure thing! Your own brownie recipe works fine too. Just follow the same steps after making your batter.

How do I prevent brownies from sticking to the pan?

Really coat that pan with butter or oil, or put down some parchment paper if you want to lift them out easily.

Can I add nuts to the batter?

You bet! Throw in some chopped walnuts or pecans for a nice crunch that goes great with the other flavors.

Is there a substitute for caramel sauce?

You can try melted chocolate or even peanut butter drizzled on top for something different but still yummy.
