Note:  Sometimes brownies crumble, and fall apart when cut it and take out of the pan:

1. If it is too crumbly, add1-2 tablespoon of milk.  If it is too moist, cut back the oil, butter or milk
2. Don't over cook or they dry out.
3. When take out of the oven, let them sit uncovered for 5 minutes, and then cover it with aluminum foil and let it cool for 1 hour.  This traps the steam and make it chewy and soft, and keep them covered so they don't crumble and dry.
4. Cut the brownies with plastic knife but use when it is cool otherwise knife will melt :).
5. If this problem remains, one last and easy solution :) bake in a small muffin tins or paper cases, no cutting worries and less messy.
