FAQs
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, you can use milk chocolate, but the brownies will be sweeter and less rich than with dark chocolate.
How do I store these brownies?
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week.
Can I add other nuts?
Absolutely! Walnuts, almonds, or pecans would be great alternatives to hazelnuts.
