Notes
How to Store Strawberry Brownies
Because of the frosting, these brownies will easily stick together. Because of this, you should store them in a single layer in an airtight container.
You can also layer parchment paper between layers if you need to stack them. Just be aware some of the frosting may stick as it doesn’t harden.
If making the frosting for these brownies, it's best to store them in the refrigerator since it contains milk and jam. However if making without frosting, they can be stored in an airtight container on the counter.
