FAQs
1. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
Yes, you can use salted butter, but be mindful of the additional salt in the recipe. You might want to reduce the kosher salt used.
2. Can I leave out the nuts?
Absolutely! If you’re not a fan of nuts or have allergies, feel free to omit them. The brownies will still taste delicious.
