Unlocking the secret to glossy, crackly brownie tops

✨🍫How a brownie TASTES is the most important thing, but who doesn't love a shiny, crackly top?

I did a lot of testing and learned two things that will REALLY gives you those next-level, BEAUTIFUL brownies.

1️⃣ The chocolate makes a difference. Brownies that include melted chocolate in the batter (instead of just cocoa) yield shinier, cracklier tops. Brownie 3 was made with melted chocolate, the other two just used cocoa.

2️⃣ You can't mix too much. At least not when it comes to the eggs and sugar. Vigorously whipping the eggs and sugar helps create a meringue-like, crackly, shiny top.
The first recipe was mixed until just-combined and is the dullest. The second is the same recipe as the first but was well mixed, and it's shinier to show for it. The third uses melted chocolate AND was well-mixed and is the clear winner.
