Frequently Asked Questions About Brownie

How many brownies per person?

Plan for 1-2 brownies per person depending on size. Cut 2-inch squares from a 9x13 pan (24 brownies) or 1.5-inch squares for bite-size pieces (35 brownies).

How far ahead can I make brownies?

Brownies stay fresh 3-4 days at room temperature in an airtight container. They actually taste better the next day! You can also freeze uncut brownies for up to 3 months.
