Notes

Use all the sugar - The 2 cups of sugar might sound like a lot, but this recipe also uses unsweetened cocoa powder, as opposed to melted milk chocolate, so where you’re gaining extra sugar in one place, you’re decreasing it in another. Balance. Sugar isn’t just about sweetness, either; it creates a softer middle because it liquifies as the brownies bake. For this particular recipe, use the full two cups if you want optimal results. Remember, this is a dessert and you can always cut the squares smaller, if preferred.
