Can you put brownies in the fridge immediately after baking?

No. Fully cooked brownies can last you several days to a week if properly stored at room temperature.

Brownie batter is shiny. Melted chocolate and the batter become matte and dark in color when cooked.

All you have to do is to observe these changes in your brownie.
