CAKE MIX BROWNIES



Cake Mix Brownies image

These cake mix brownies are a mashup of two of my favorite desserts. A woman I worked with gave me a recipe for chocolate caramel brownies, and I have a recipe for yellow cake mix bars. I wondered what they would taste like together, so I tried it-and I've been making them ever since! -Staci Mergenthal, Verdi, Minnesota

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 1/4 ounce) dark chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (if you like a less sweeter taste use 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup water
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or 3/4 cup chocolate chips
frosting, of you choice

Steps:

  • Set oven to 375 degrees (second-lowest rack).
  • Grease an 11x7 or a 13x9-inch baking pan (the brownies baked in a 13x9 pan will not be as high).
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer beat all ingredients except walnuts or chocolate chips until smooth (the batter will be thick).
  • Add in walnuts of chocolate chips mix to combine.
  • Spread into the prepared baking dish (the batter will be very thick so have patience!).
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes (do not overbake).
  • Cool completely before frosting.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate cake mix: This will ensure that your brownies have a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies at the right temperature: Baking the brownies at too high a temperature will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them at 350°F (175°C) for the perfect fudgy texture.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature: They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cake mix brownies are an easy and delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of brownies that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're craving something sweet, give this recipe a try.
