How To Take Boxed Brownies From Basic To Gourmet
By Nick Johnson
When it comes to boxed brownies, the right ingredient swap or inclusion could easily make them a top-tier dessert.
Fresh and dried fruit can bring your brownies to a new level of sweetness, while bacon bits, potato chips, and cream cheese are great additions if you want a savory kick.
For extra chewy boxed brownies, substitute your water with milk, and for moist browny lovers, ½ cup of mayo into your mixture will do the trick.
If you like your brownies dense, swapping the oil in the recipe for melted butter will result in a substantial cake.
Play with the flavor of your brownies by adding vanilla, caramel, fruit jam, Nutella, crushed chips, pretzels, or salty nuts to wow guests with your boxed brownies.
