Start with a Quality Boxed Mix

To intensify the chocolate flavor, mix in some extra unsweetened cocoa powder.

2. Add Extra Cocoa Powder

Swap the oil in the recipe for melted butter to create a fudgier, richer texture.

Use Melted Butter Instead of Oil

Add chocolate chips to the batter for extra chocolatey bites throughout the brownies.

Include a Handful of Chocolate Chips

A teaspoon of vanilla extract adds depth and enhances the overall flavor of the brownies.

 Boost Flavor with Vanilla Extract

For added crunch and flavor, mix in chopped walnuts or swirl in caramel for a special touch.

6. Experiment with Nuts or Swirls

Don’t overbake—remove the brownies when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs for that perfect fudgy texture.

7. Bake Just Right
