Notes

  • Don’t overbake. These should stay soft and slightly gooey in the center.
  • Use fresh graham crumbs. 
  • Crushing whole graham crackers gives the best texture.
  • Score into bite-sized brownies while slightly warm, but cool before cutting completely. They’ll hold together better and stay fudgy.
