EASY CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX BROWNIES (MAKE BROWNIES FROM A CAKE MIX)



Easy Chocolate Cake Mix Brownies (Make Brownies from a Cake Mix) image

Make brownies out of a cake mix with this easy chocolate cake mix brownies recipe. These brownies are delicious, chewy, full of chocolate flavor and super fast to make.

Provided by Kara @ Quick and Easy Baking

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 15 oz box chocolate cake mix ((I used Betty Crocker Dark Chocolate, but any chocolate cake mix will do))
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray or grease an 8x8 inch pan. (If you want to use a 9x13 inch pan, double the recipe.)
  • Add the cake mix, oil, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula until well combined.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips and mix with a spoon.
  • Add the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips.
  • Bake the brownies at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes. Pull these brownies out of the oven when the baking time is up. Be careful not to overbake as that will dry them out. These brownies will still feel a little jiggly in the middle when they're pulled out of the oven, but will firm up as they cool.
  • Once baked, take the brownies out of the oven and set the pan on a cooling rack to cool completely. As they cool, the brownies will sink down in the middle, which is normal. Make sure to let them cool completely before cutting.

CARAMEL BROWNIES MADE WITH A CAKE MIX RECIPE



Caramel Brownies Made with a Cake Mix Recipe image

These Cake Mix Caramel Brownies are so easy to make and full of chocolatey, fudgy flavor. If you are a caramel and brownie fan, then this recipe has your name written all over it.

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 ounces wrapped caramels
½ cup evaporated milk
15.25 ounces German chocolate cake mix
⅓ cup evaporated milk
¾ cup butter (melted)
¼ cup pecans (chopped)
2 cup milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Peel caramels and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Heat and stir until all caramels are melted (you can also do this on the stove-top over low heat- just keep stirring until caramels are melted).
  • Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan (and when I say grease it, I mean it! These tend to be sticky, so grease it well. You may also want to grease the sides of the pan to prevent the caramel from sticking).
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, melted butter, and chopped pecans. The dough will be VERY thick and kind of hard to stir- that means that you made it right! Place 1/2 of the batter in prepared baking pan. I sprayed my fingers with non-stick cooking spray and spread it in the bottom of the pan using my hands.
  • Bake for 8 minutes.
  • Place the remaining batter into the fridge. Remove brownies from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Drizzle caramel sauce over chocolate chips. Remove brownie mix from refrigerator. Using a teaspoon, make small balls with the batter and smash flat. Very carefully, place on top of the caramel sauce until the top is completely covered. With the batter being so thick, I places little teaspoonfuls all over the top and then carefully pushed them together to cover the caramel. It doesn't look very pretty, but they will still taste amazing.
  • Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Remove and let cool. It is best to wait until the brownies are cooled to cut into them (it will be hard, but trust me- they are so worth the wait!).
