Notes
Store homemade fudgy brownies in an airtight container and keep unrefrigerated for up to 1 week. If the brownies are cut into squares, wrap them in plastic wrap first to avoid drying.
You can freeze individual squares or the entire pan (divided into two half batches) for up to 3 months. Wrap in freezer safe packaging and defrost overnight in the fridge.
Knowing when brownies are done baking can be a little tricky. You don't want to underbake them, and you definitely don't want to overbake them. See "Top tip" in above post for more info.
