Indulge in the rich, fudgy goodness of homemade walnut brownies, a classic treat perfect for any occasion. Packed with crunchy walnuts and decadent chocolate, these brownies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored to maintain their delightful texture and flavor.

Storage Time

3–4 days at room temperature, 1 week in the refrigerator, up to 3 months in the freezer

Temperature

Store at room temperature (18–22°C) or refrigerated (0–4°C) for extended freshness.

Freezing

Walnut brownies freeze exceptionally well, preserving their fudgy texture and intense chocolate flavor. Wrap individual brownies or a whole batch tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. To thaw, unwrap and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour, or gently reheat in a low-temperature oven for a warm, fresh-baked experience. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the walnuts, making them a bit softer.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy white, green, or black spots.
• A sour or off smell, distinct from the usual sweet chocolate aroma.
• A dry, crumbly, or stale texture that indicates a loss of moisture and freshness.
