The best way to test this is to insert a skewer into the middle - if it comes out clean (or with just a bit of melted chocolate on it) then the brownie is cooked. Our cooking times are just a guide and we find that this can vary a lot depending on the oven., approved=true, user_name=TTY, hs_createdate=1729459570137, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=17161337863}, {comment_text=I have tried this recipe.
