Watch people murder their brownies with a mixer on high speed and wonder why they get dry cake squares. I had the same issue until I tried @valgibson's method and now my batter looks like a lumpy mess but bakes into perfect fudge. My stand mixer just gives me the side eye from the counter while I stir by hand. Guess it's back to being a very expensive whipped cream machine.

You ever try to work after a terrible night's sleep? It's not just about being tired, your brain is actually fuzzy and slow. Six hours of deep sleep leaves you way more clear-headed than eight hours of tossing and turning. The whole point is your brain needs that real downtime to reset and work right the next day. So yeah, it's serious because bad rest makes everything harder for no good reason.

Nice, when asking helps everyone.

But does sugar really crisp, or just make it taste good?
