More helpful tips for you.

1. You can add extra goodness to your brownie with chopped walnuts, white chocolate baking chips, or a teaspoon or two of espresso powder for additional flavor.
2. I like to prep my skillet well for nonstick for a recipe such as this one. Doing so makes it so much easier to clean up when you are done.
3. Do you have to use dutch process cocoa? Regular unsweetened cocoa powder can be used however, your brownie will taste more chocolaty and may be a bit less dense.
4. This dessert is really best when served warm so that is it warm and full of gooey chocolate on the inside.
5. Avoid over-baking your brownie as they can become dry on the inside.
