Notes
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
Flour: Use one spoon to place flour in your measuring spoon, then level with a knife. Don't dip it into your flour container or you may use too much.
Egg: Pour the egg back and forth between the two shells to easily separate the white from the yolk.
Cocoa Powder: I used Hershey's.
Chocolate Chunks: I used semi-sweet chunks as I love the mouthfeel but any variety of chocolate chip will work.
Tips and Tricks
Mug: Use a mug that is wider at the top than a typical coffee mug. This will ensure even cooking and make removing your brownie easier. My mug was 12 ounces. Always make sure it is microwave safe.
One At a Time: Cook separately if you want to make more than one.
Don't Overbake: Just like regular brownies, this dessert will firm up as it cools. Overbaking will lead to a tough dry brownie.
