Notes

The almonds can be replaced with almost any other nut, or you can leave them out altogether.
Baked brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months, though the texture and appearance will change. If you're serving these to guests, we recommend baking a fresh batch, but you can freeze them for a sweet treat at home. Allow to defrost at room temperature for several hours, or enjoy them frozen as a cold treat.
