Tips for Fudgy Green Tea Brownies
- You can layer these brownies any way you want! The flavor and taste is still amazing.
- If you want more of a “marbled” effect, feel free to swirl a little bit of the matcha brownie layer with the fudge brownie layer.
- For fudgy brownies, 45 minutes in the oven is perfect. However, the brownies can set a bit more by cooking them for up to 50 minutes!
- The level of sweetness is excellent in these brownies, but you can always take things up a notch with a caramel drizzle or extra white chocolate chunks on top!
