This was made because we were out of boxed mix, and I promised the husband brownies. I knew it couldn’t be terribly difficult to make brownies, but I like the convenience of the box (because I’m not much of a baker) A quick google, a recipe for brownie mix, a test run, a proclamation of “these are better than boxed” and here we are. Can be customized (add chocolate chips, rolos, cookie dough) but plain are just fine by me. These took about 5 minutes to throw together (three bags, one to make in the bowl). I did use a little water to thin mine out a little, but we have a winner!
