• "These brownies are out of this world! They're so moist and chocolaty, and the tofu gives them a unique but delicious flavor."
• "I can't believe these are vegan! They taste like regular brownies, but without the guilt."
• "My kids love these brownies, and they don't even realize they're eating tofu!"

Special Precautions and Tips:

• To press the tofu, wrap it in a few layers of paper towels and place it on a plate. Top with another plate and weigh it down with a heavy object. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• If you don't have bittersweet chocolate chips, you can substitute all milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
• For a fudgier brownie, bake for 35 minutes. For a chewier brownie, bake for 30 minutes.
• Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares, or they will fall apart.
