Let’s Get Started:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and greasing a 6-inch square baking pan. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to the melted butter and stir until combined. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Next, add the egg to the pan and whisk until fully incorporated. Then, add the flour to the pan and stir until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Finally, fold in the chopped SMILING Ecological Chocolate Covered Salted Cashews.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving warm.

Proper storage is key to keeping your leftover brownies fresh and delicious.

Here's how to store any leftover brownies you may have:

1. Let the brownies cool completely: Before storing your leftover brownies, make sure they are completely cool. This will prevent condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can make the brownies soggy.

2. Wrap the brownies tightly: Once the brownies are cool, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to help prevent air from getting in. This will help keep the brownies fresh and prevent them from drying out.

3. Store at room temperature: Store the wrapped brownies at room temperature in an airtight container. If you don't have an airtight container, you can use a resealable plastic bag instead.

4. Use within a few days: Brownies will typically stay fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature. If you want to keep them for longer, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months.

5. Reheat before serving: If your leftover brownies have been stored in the refrigerator or freezer, you may want to reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving to restore their gooey texture and enhance their flavor.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your leftover brownies stay fresh and delicious for as long as possible. Enjoy!
