Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix prefer Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • Extra chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 9 inch pan with parchment paper, lightly spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the cake mix, butter, eggs and vanilla and mix with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and top with additional chips (we like to add both semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips on top). Bake for 22-24 minutes or until edges are cooked and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cut into 9 squares. Serve warm with ice cream.

Notes

Recipe Tips
  • Mix just until everything is incorporated, overmixing can make the brownies tougher.
  • Do not overbake, pull them when the edges look set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Line the pan with parchment for easy lifting and clean slices.
  • Let them cool at least 10 minutes before cutting so they hold their shape.
  • For extra gooey brownies, serve warm with ice cream, it is the best combo.
