⚠️ Is It Safe to Eat Brownie Batter?
Traditional brownie batter is not safe to eat because it contains raw eggs and untreated flour.

🔥 Tips for the Best Brownie Batter Texture
- Use cooled flour to avoid melting ingredients
- Add milk slowly to control thickness
- For thicker batter → use less liquid
- For a softer, dip-style batter → add a splash more milk
- Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chunks for chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or any flavor baking chips you enjoy.

I don't have the semisweet chocolate. Will the end result be too far off without them?
It will change the end result, but if you love dark chocolate to start with and that's all you have on hand I think it will be fine :). You can use the type of chocolate you love 🙂
