Guest: Pinnacle Foods Group, LLC

Did you know that brownies can be kept frozen 4 to 6 months in the freezer? Wrap each square in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then put the brownies into an airtight freezer bag. To freeze the entire pan, place pan in freezer briefly just long enough to harden the brownies. Then remove the block from the pan, wrap it and bag it!

Guest: Pinnacle Foods Group, LLC

Did you know that dark-colored baking pans can make a difference in your baking time? Dark pans give your cakes a darker finish when baked at 350 degrees because they absorb and retain more heat. So if you are baking cupcakes in a pan with a dark or non-stick surface, lower the recommended recipe oven temp by 25 degrees to avoid overbrowning.

Guest: Pinnacle Foods Group, LLC

If cake comes off on the toothpick, return it to the oven for the full baking time. If no crumbs come off on the toothpick, then your cake is done!
