Chocolate Chip Is the Secret Ingredient for a Shiny, Cracked Crust for Your Brownie
Honestly, when it comes to brownies, I prefer box mixes, mainly because I haven’t found a homemade recipe that gives you that gorgeous, crispy, shiny crust. However, King Arthur Flour revealed a brilliant code, and the secret is in the chocolate chips.
In a series of delicious chocolate tests (which you can read about by clicking on the link below), P.J. Hamel of King Arthur Flour found that chocolate chip brownie recipes generally produced shiny, delicately crispy crusts, while those that did not. usually dull and dull. It seems to be due to the extra fat and sugar introduced by the chips, which move up and then melt to form a crust.
While a recipe specifically designed for chocolate chips (like King Arthur’s Fudge Brownies ) will give you the best results by adding a couple of cups of chips to any brownie recipe (as has been done with the previously unused Quick and Easy Fudge Brownies ) will add sparkle to your chocolate treat.
