You can just eat the scraps as is or for a fun twist take those brownies pieces and make brownie truffles. Squish the scraps into a ball approx. 1 inch in size, then roll the brownie truffle into icing sugar, and Voila! Store brownie truffles in an airtight container for 3 days or freeze for up to one month.

The trick to having a fudgy brownie is having a higher fat content than flour content. Using less flour in the recipe will result in a denser, fudgy texture. Whereas, adding more flour will give you a cakey brownie. Also, be careful not to overbake brownies, as a slightly underdone brownie will give you that fudgy texture.
