Set the baking pan aside and then place parchment paper over the surface of the baking pan with an extra width on two sides of the baking pan as it will help when you remove these brownies from the baking pan later on. Put parchment paper on the pan and then proceed to butter or grease it with a non-stick cooking spray. 
2.  Melt the Butter: Using a medium saucepan warm over low heat the butter until it melts. When melted, remove from heat allow it to cool for some time, and then use it. There is also the choice to melt the butter in a microwave and in thirty-second attempts stir until melted. 
3.  Mix the Dry Ingredients: Combining both the dry ingredients, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder by aerating it with the wire whisk till it becomes a fine, smooth powder. Do not let lumps in your brownie batter be there for conformity in your brownies. 
4.  Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla into the melted butter.

Tips for Perfecting the Recipe of Phish Food Brownies

1. Use Quality Ingredients: Concerning the density of the ingredients, it is possible to note that the moistness of the brownies directly depends on the cocoa powder and dark chocolate as well as on the caramel sauce. It is recommended to use quality produce to achieve the best flavors.
2. Avoid Overmixing: Do not overmix the ingredients; this will result in heavy and tough brownies, just mix until combined. Overmixing means the incorporation of excess air that is not good for the fudgy texture of the cake and results in a cake-like structure.
3. Don’t Overbake: When estimating the baking time of brownies, make sure to pay particular attention to them when they are almost done. Brownies will continue to become firmer after they cool so, take them out when a quick poke in the center results in it springing back up.
4. Layer Wisely: If put near the edges they tend to burn, while incorporating them ensure you place them a little away from the edges. Place them more to the center so that they become soft on the inside.
5. Cooling Is Key: To avoid this, however, do not shift to assume these are absolute truths you need to immediately attack, let the brownies cool for the best results. This is beneficial to them since it helps to set properly and also makes slicing much easier.

• Nutty Brownies: You may want to spread chopped walnuts or pecans that you have prepared, between your brownie layers to enhance the taste of your phish food brownies.
