Is it possible?

Is the quality decreased from doing so?



The guy that mows all the lawns in my neighborhood did an unsolicited favor for me a couple weeks ago. He didn't want any money from it so I thought I'd bake him brownies.


Since I don't know what day he comes next, I start the brownies whenever I hear him out and about in the neighborhood; but by the time I get them baked and cooled, he's already gone again.


He just left (again). I just now took the brownies out of the oven.

This is getting pretty pricey . . . not to mention the sacrifice that I'm making of eating the brownies so they don't go to waste (although, I'm now in danger of them going to waist; mine specifically).

I think people are beginning to wonder about me. LOL
A few days ago, I left brownies at the doorsteps of two neighbors and then gave some to some total strangers.


If this keeps up, I may end up on the 6 o'clock news . . . and not in a very positve light.


SO . . . these brownies that are cooling . . . can I freeze them without harming them in any way?


Thanks, y'all!

Yes, wrap them well.


I am currently avoiding chocolate, otherwise I'd offer to come and help you eat them.

In what?

Saran wrap?

Foil?

Parchment paper (and then something else)?



Should I wrap them individually?





I know I must appear obsessive . . . it's probably cuz I am.





I just don't want them to not be good after I thaw them out.

LOL Kerr!!!


Saran Wrap each individually, then toss them in a freezer ziploc.


(Can you tell I've done stuff like that before? Maybe I'm obsessive ... nah!!)

OK . . . Can I wrap them and put them in the freezer while they're still slightly warm or do they have to completely cool?

Definitely allow them to cool completely. Otherwise they will sweat inside the saran wrap and make them soggy, in which case you might as well eat them all now.

Or FedEx them to Kerr ...

Now you know you're on the right track.

Yes. But I will warn you ... it's dangerous.

Because the temptation is soooooo great. I quit doing it years ago.

I'm done baking until November. It's too hot for me to heat up the place by baking. So I'm safe for a while.

I freeze brownies all the time...and they turn out fine heated in the microwave!!! I like to use the stone cookie sheet with sides to bake them in (cause the sides stay nice and moist and don't get hard!!!), but to do it and make them the right thickness I have to use two packages of brownie mix at a time. So We put most of them in the freezer. As the others said...individually wrap in plastic wrap (or freezer paper) and place in a zip top baggie or plastic bowl with a lid. When you reheat them it works best to cover them with or place in the microwave a wet paper towel (for the moisture).

Is it ok to just let then air-thaw?

(As the only reason I would probably be freezing brownies is if I were baking them for someone else).

Sure, I'd probably prefer it over nuking them.

I'm thinking that if the opportunity every presents itself again that I would take them out of the freezer, unwrap them and put them on a plate with a paper towel underneath them and then let them air thaw (with perhaps a paper towel over them as well). How does that sound to you?
