Tired of tearing apart an otherwise beautiful pan of brownies? Guess what… there is a correct way to cut brownies! Who knew?!? If you want a nice, clean cut for your next batch of chocolate deliciousness, I suggest the following two life-altering tips:

Cut them while they are warm. Use a plastic knife.

Seriously. A plastic knife makes all the difference. See?

The cut on the right is from a regular kitchen butter knife. On the left, a plastic knife. (And under the pan, a dirty stovetop. *sigh*)



And now, because you know you must try this immediately, I give you full permission to go make yourself some brownies. Go! Go! Go!
