Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use unsalted butter for the Lava Brownies?
Sure! Although the recipe suggests using salted pure butter (like Kerrygold for a touch) you can definitely use unsalted butter if that’s what you have available. It will add a flavor profile. Allow you to adjust the level of saltiness according to your preference.
