RECIPE NOTES

NOTE: I beát the butter-sugár mixture for ábout á minute so it beát á lot of áir into the bátter. Thát provided á little more lift since this recipe doesn't cáll for báking sodá or báking powder.

NOTE: If you live in á high-áltitude locátion, you máy háve to ádd á teáspoon of báking sodá for these to ráise properly.

NOTE: While my oven took ábout 30 minutes to báke these sufficiently, your oven máy quick these more quickly. Do not állow the the brownies to overbáke ánd dry out.

NOTE: For best results, báke these brownies in á gláss báking dish--not án áluminum pán.

NOTE: If you áre unáble to find chocoláte báking melts, substitute chocoláte chunks.
