How to Serve Cupcake Brownies
Cupcake Brownies are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. You can serve them as they are, or you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful treat. Drizzling some chocolate or caramel sauce makes them even more delicious! They can also be dusted with powdered sugar or topped with whipped cream.

How to Store Cupcake Brownies
Store leftover Cupcake Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also keep them in the fridge for a bit longer, around a week. If you want to save them for later, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to a month. Thaw them in the fridge when you’re ready to enjoy them again!

Tips to Make Cupcake Brownies
