Top Tips for Enjoying and Storing Your Brownies (Made Easy!)
Brownies are meant to bring joy—so let’s keep things simple and delicious! Here are our top, easy-to-follow tips for getting the most out of your Ruth’s Brownie Kitchen treats, from the first bite to the last crumb.
1. The Ultimate Brownie Experience
- Pair with a classic: Enjoy your brownie with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee for the perfect pick-me-up.
- Warm it up: Microwave your brownie for 20–25 seconds for extra gooey, melty goodness.
- Dessert magic: Serve your brownie with a scoop of ice cream or a handful of fresh berries for an instant dessert upgrade.
2. Keeping Brownies Fresh—Short Term
-
Refrigerator (up to 10 days at 35–40°F / 1.5–4°C):
- Store brownies in their original packaging, or wrap tightly in cling wrap and place in an airtight glass or BPA-free plastic container.
- Airtight containers keep out moisture and odors, preserving that fresh-baked flavor.
- Let them sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before eating, or microwave briefly to bring back that fresh-baked taste.
3. Long-Term Storage—Freezer Tips
-
Freezer (up to 3 months at 0°F / –18°C or lower):
- Wrap each brownie individually in cling wrap, then place in a freezer-safe, airtight container or heavy-duty zip-top freezer bag.
- Label and date your containers for easy tracking.
- Defrost overnight in the fridge, then let them warm at room temp for 20–30 minutes.
- In a hurry? Defrost at room temperature for about an hour, then enjoy!
4. Bonus Tips for Brownie Lovers
- Slice before freezing: If you freeze a whole batch, slice brownies first for easy grab-and-go treats.
- Avoid fridge odors: Store brownies away from strong-smelling foods to keep their chocolatey flavor pure.
- Don’t refreeze: For best texture, avoid refreezing brownies once they’ve been thawed.
5. Brownies On the Go
- Portable snacking: Pack brownies in small, airtight containers or reusable snack bags for lunchboxes, picnics, or road trips. They’re sturdy, travel well, and make the perfect treat anytime, anywhere!
