Note
Ensure the pan is well-buttered to help the brownies release cleanly when slicing.
For a firmer texture, you can freeze the bars for 30 minutes before cutting.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can substitute vanilla wafers with graham crackers for a different flavor profile.
Dark chocolate chips can be used instead of semi-sweet for a richer, less sweet result.
