In my house we loved boxed brownies! Betty Crocker happens to be one of our favorites. This recipe for fudgy brownies is even more delicious yet has many qualities of a box mix that people love. Fudgy center? Check! Flaky top layer? Check! Delicious flavor? Check! These also come out great in a 9×13 pan (check closer to 20 mins for baking time) for a thinner brownie. If you like a thicker brownie, go for the 9×9 pan. I always line my pans with nonstick foil for easy removal!

Oh yummy and it looks as though it’s easy to make. I will make them this weekend! Oh and we love Betty Crocker brownie mixes also but it’s nice to have a few recipes for homemade.

These look so delicious!! Would you say these brownies are chewy or cakey? My favorite is a chewy! If these aren’t chewy, do you have a recipe for chewy brownies? Just discovered your blog and love it! Thank you!
