Note

Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.

Substitutions: You can use semi-sweet chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate for a less intense cocoa flavor, but adjust sweetness accordingly. Any brand of chocolate toffee candy bar works well.

Tips: Ensure the chocolate-butter mixture for the brownie base cools completely before adding to the eggs to prevent scrambling. For the frosting, if it becomes too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time. If too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.

Variations: Add chopped nuts to the brownie batter for extra crunch. Use dark chocolate for the drizzle instead of white for a monochromatic look.
