How to Cut Brownies:
For best results, we recommend removing brownies from the baking pan with the parchment paper. Then slice the brownies before the white chocolate has cooled. This allows you to have clean slices.
How To Store Leftovers:
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure stored in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.
