How to make brownies out of cake mix

Create a richer and more indulgent version of your favorite brownie recipe with a few simple ingredients; one of which is a box of cake mix! Instead of following the directions on the back of the box, simply add the oil and eggs.

This will make it denser and resemble the texture of fudgy brownies. For the perfect cake mix brownie, don't overbake them! Remove them from the oven when they're baked around the edges and slightly underdone in center.

Also, wait to slice them until they've cooled completely. You can use any flavor of cake mix...not just chocolate! Check out this recipe for Cake Mix Brownies for more help.

Storage Tips

If you're going to stack the brownies, use parchment paper between the layers to prevent sticking.

Label the container with the date and contents, then store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Freezing Tips

You can also freeze the brownies for up to 3 months. Be sure to follow the storage tips above before placing the brownies in the freezer.

Thawing and Reheating Tips

When ready to enjoy, remove from the freezer the night before and allow them to thaw completely in the refrigerator overnight.

Try warming them up in the microwave for a few seconds before serving...yum!
