Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that spring in your step and show your oven who’s boss!
- Melt the butter in a medium-sized bowl. You can do this in the microwave or stovetop—whichever floats your boat.
- Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Keep mixing until it’s all smooth and shiny like your favorite celebrity.

- Fold in the chocolate chips or nuts. Make sure they’re evenly distributed. No one likes a lonely chip!
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Spread it around so it looks all nice and even.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Use a toothpick to check—if it comes out clean-ish, you’re golden.
- Let it cool, then cut into squares.

Serve your Brownie Mischief warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Oh, and drizzle some chocolate sauce if you’re feeling extra fancy. Guests will think you’re a pro chef, and you can just grin quietly while thinking about how easy it really was. 😍
How to Store Brownie Mischief
Keep your brownies fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last about 3–4 days—if they even last that long around your friends and family! You can also keep them in the fridge, but let them come to room temp before digging in for the ideal texture.
Tips to Make Brownie Mischief
- Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor. Trust me—your taste buds will thank you.

FAQs
1. Can I use a different type of flour?
Absolutely! You can try almond flour or gluten-free flour blends. Just keep in mind that the texture might change a bit.
2. How do I know when my brownies are done?
Stick a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, you’re golden! Clean means they’re overdone.
3. Can I freeze my brownies?
You bet! Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and pop them in the freezer. They’ll be good for about 2–3 months—but you’ll probably eat them way before that. 😜
Now go ahead, unleash your Brownie Mischief and get ready for some serious chocolate love!
