I’m making them for book club tonight! I have adapted it, adding more chocolate chunks and a variation of nuts and they always get great reviews. “In a perfect world, my ideal brownie is warm, and I’m an edge girl, so a double-edge brownie is going to always have a leg up.” What about chips? My mom has always taught me to use two boxes of brownie mix in one 9×13 pan. Like all of our taste tests, this one was blind — Jerelle didn’t know which brand she was trying. Have to undercook them a tad every time, though. I’m sad that it wasn’t in this taste test. http://www.simplemathbakery.com/blog/2010/02/28/olive-oil-brownies, https://alexandracooks.com/2016/02/13/my-favorite-brownies/, https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/salted-fudge-brownies, https://www.mangotomato.com/2015/09/double-dark-chocolate-olive-oil.html, https://www.mangotomato.com/2018/04/halva-tahini-brownies-adapted-from.html, https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2018/02/bravetart-glossy-fudge-brownies.html, https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/10782-katharine-hepburns-brownies, https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/fudge-brownies-recipe, https://smittenkitchen.com/2012/08/my-favorite-brownies/, https://gawker.com/the-food-babe-blogger-is-full-of-shit-1694902226, https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/12/04/364745790/food-babe-or-fear-babe-as-activist-s-profile-grows-so-do-her-critics. halvah https://www.mangotomato.com/2018/04/halva-tahini-brownies-adapted-from.html Much better than a mix! xo. Bob’s Redmill gluten free brownie mix is my favorite – gluten free or not! This is so funny. As she chewed and analyzed, I asked her to report on the following factors: texture (was it dry? Did she give any detail on how much? I am not gluten-intolerant and don’t have celiac but I made them and they are my FAVOURITE boxed brownie. ALDI BOX BROWNIES win. Non-pro tip: Add your own homemade vanilla, which I make by putting vanilla beans in rum or bourbon (not vodka). Your browser will redirect to your requested content shortly. Is there anything better than warm brownies from a box with a scoop of ice cream? I keep instant espresso powder in the pantry for this very reason. I’m glad to finally have science to back up my claim!! cakey? They continue to cook after you take them out of the oven. I mix it all in a big Pyrex measuring cup. Ali Stafford (alexandracoooks.com) posted them a few years ago on her blog, and I’ve been making them (with a little more time) ever since! I was happily surprised. have a house tour? I feel totally different about Bob’s! Scrolling the comments to see if anyone else asked&got that answered! https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2018/02/bravetart-glossy-fudge-brownies.html. And more featuring Jerrelle – she (and her cook book, which I bought after seeing another post on here with her) are amazing! That kitchen looks great – I’m curious about the rest of the home. “This one wins,” Jerrelle said definitively as soon as she took a bite of the Pillsbury. This is so funny. Super easy, rich, delicious & barely any flour, so easy to sub out & make gf. And the comment below about the infused olive oil reminded me of vanilla ice cream with good lemon olive oil drizzled on it. Most cake mixes have a whole lot of stuff in them that is just not good. I take a box of Ghirardelli and a box of Duncan Hines and combine the mixes. Just as we figured. Yes, this should have been included! I’ve never made box brownies and have always been a little puzzled why anyone would…because from-scratch brownies are so *easy. YES! Was just thinking about making some brownies for The Bachelorette premier girls night next week (I know, I know) but haven’t bought a box mix in years. I still strongly associate brownies with them, even though I made them all the time growing up at home.

Now that we have it in our repertoire I don’t think we will ever go back to a box: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/fudge-brownies-recipe. As Olive Kitteridge said, "There's no such thing as a simple life." I can customize them depending on my mood, but I always freeze the leftovers in one-inch squares as a love letter to myself in the future (also my kids never look there!). Delicious! I did this exact taste test and ended up with the same results. I agree brownies are simple to make, but I think the point of this post is that many actually prefer the taste of boxed mixes! Yes yes yes!!!!! I was looking for a non-dairy brownie recipe and discovered the wonderful world of olive (or other) oil brownies. These have the absolute best real chocolate buttery flavor. I prefer a more cakey texture. “No chips or anything else!” she said, as though I’d suggested arsenic. P.S. It’s been featured on a previous Cup of Jo post and for good reason. i would have done exactly the same !!!! That right gave me the permission I didn’t know I needed to let boxed brownie mix into my life, and Ghirardelli became my new-mom, “I need chocolate now!” sanity saver. Been making them since I was little. “You can tell it would be good with ice cream.”, #4: The Whole Foods’ brand (scoring a 3.5) was a little too cakey. They actually taste homemade! — will say, “Yeah, these are good… But next time can you make the ones from the box?”. Prime members enjoy FREE Delivery and exclusive access to music, movies, TV shows, original audio series, and Kindle books. You have to bake them a lot longer, but you get these super thick and delicious brownies. yeah, this is what my grandma always used and she also adds chips, and i still love it! Thanks, CoJ!! yes. And, no nasty chemicals either. Box mix brownies are my love language and hands down Duncan Hines is best! I have never made a box mix brownie in my life— homemade ones are so easy and superior! We feature only items we genuinely love and want to share, and this is an arrangement between the retailer and Cup of Jo (readers never pay more for products). I keep a box of this mix whenever I need a last minute something to take with me. My pantry is never without Ghirardelli Double Chocolate. so sorry offtopic but Jerrelle – what nailpolish are you wearing? I’ll need to pick up a box!! The first recipe I ever found that was as good as the boxed mixes! I don’t know how the nutrition ultimately compares and I should probably just go for the regular boxes, but it made me feel less guilty when I ate almost half in one sitting. I swear by that Duncan Hines mix – two boxes, 9×13 pan, and follow the directions for fudgy NOT cakey brownies. If I don’t make those brownies, I make Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies. Brownies are better slightly under-baked, than over. I am a bit disappointed by this post as i never use ready made cake mixes; I always bake from scratch. The mix can be a bit hard to find, however. Boxed brownies used to be my jam, until an NPR segment with Thomas Keller changed the brownie game. I almost always bake from scratch except for brownies because that mix is SO GOOD. They’re the best I’ve ever eaten! YES! No more, no less. I made these for a gluten-free friend thinking it would be a compromise – they were amazing!! !I agree. I don’t want cake—I’m eating a brownie. Nostalgic heaven. The secret to best brownies.. slightly undercook them. For a significant portion of my adult life, when the bake sale required brownies, I’d deliver a from-scratch Alice Medrich batch, only to watch the kids bypass my sea-salt-sprinkled beauties for the crinkly-topped box kind with its (somehow delicious) artificial aftertaste. (The red box not the purple pictured.) Made the Ghiradelli double chocolate brownies for a super bowl party one year. I like to use a coffee liqueur (like Tia Maria or kahlua) in place of vanilla extract in the recipe. Easy to make, so much butter, but oh so delicious. As part of an ongoing INSIDER taste test series — check out our chocolate cake taste test and pancake mix comparisons — we compared brownie mix brands to see which is worth your money. Almost all of these brands have a line of brownie mixes — Fudgy, Chewy, Cakey, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Double Chocolate, Triple Chocolate, Chocolate Supreme, you get the idea — so to keep things as straightforward as possible, we decided to test their “Chocolate Fudge” versions. i love the idea of secret recipes … when you’re just thinking ” if you only knew “. Thanks for the idea! So good! I always underbake them a bit. 100% yes, I’m a firm believer in a crispy lid and a chewy center. :-). I think they’re the best box mix. We bought four different plain fudge brownie mixes: Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, Ghirardelli, and Betty Crocker. so glad that’s over! time. They’re fudgy and chewy. Two more taste tests: ice-cream sandwiches and jarred pasta sauce. :D. Same! I just started following the FoodBabe on instagram (thanks to Sara Blakely of Spanx) and I wonder what she would think about the ingredients on the box. I grew up in a bake-from-scratch household, and when I was 35-ish weeks pregnant I flew home so my mom could baby me for a week (before I had to do the baby-ing). Trader Joe’s GLUTEN FREE Brownie Mix is hands down the best brownie you will ever taste, boxed or not. I made the Pilsbury boxed mix once, and we were totally out of vegetable oil, so I subbed olive oil and it was the best brownie I have ever had. I bake with olive oil all the time, it is so good! It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. Somehow it comes out the perfect mixture of decadent and rich, but not overly sweet. We always made the Ghirardelli kind and served them with ice cream. My pan is larger, and I double the recipe and keep a close eye on the doneness. I agree! This is the recipe I’ve been using: http://www.simplemathbakery.com/blog/2010/02/28/olive-oil-brownies. My husband and I are partial to Ghirardelli. Still, though, I’ll be buying the Pillsbury ones to try soon! It’s seriously the best. and brought some to work today. Omg these are great....I'm fat n ate the whole box. :). That post changed my spaghetti life as well. I made 4 other brownie recipes this year and had settled on Smitten Kitchen’s Favorite Brownie as our go-to before making these on a whim for Passover and being blown away by their fudgy, super chocolatey deliciousness. Ohhhh, yes. Mix all together and pour into a greased 8"x8" pan. My favourite brownie, at all, to be honest. Yes! Friends would gush and ask for the recipe, and I WOULD GIVE THEM A RANDOM RECIPE, knowing it wouldn’t come out like my brownies because mine came from a box! To be fair they call for an entire stick of butter… yum. I completely agree. I buy their dark chocolate waffles when they are on sale. Their pancakes mix is also fantastic.
