Equipment

Ingredients

1 Brownie Mix (I use Betty Crocker Fudge)
Hot Water (Use the amount called in the box)
Oil (Use the amount called in the box)
Cream cheese - substitute each egg called for in the box mix with 1.5 oz / 3 tablespoons / 42 g of cream cheese
2 tablespoons (15 g) Cacao powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to the recommended temperature according to brownie mix box you are using. Line an 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with baking spray. Set aside.
In the bowl, mix all the ingredients; mix until just combined. Add any mixed-ins, if using. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into prepared pan, then top with additional chocolate chips/chunks, if desired.
Bake in preheated oven for 50 - 55 minutes (an inserted toothpick should come out kind of gooey). Important: Follow the recommended baking time in the brownie mix box you are using.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely before cutting into it. Optional - top with Maldon Sea Salt and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Freezing: Wrap individual brownies tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

Brownie Mix: The base of your brownies, choose your favorite brand, or go for a gluten-free option if needed. Make sure to use a standard-size box of brownie mix and follow the directions on the box for baking temperature and time. A standard mix that calls for 1-2 up to 3 eggs. While lots of folks love the rich taste of the Ghirardelli brownie mix, I've switched to Betty Crocker. Why? Well, as much as I love Ghirardelli's flavor, my family's safety comes first. My daughter has an egg allergy, and Ghirardelli's label says it "may contain eggs," I'd rather play it safe.

Recipe Tips

Mixing: When combining the ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies.
Baking Time: I recommend following the instructions on the box; however, keep an eye on your brownies, as baking times may vary depending on your oven. They're ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting. This helps them set and ensures clean slices.

Add mix-ins for extra decadence: The best part about using a brownie mix is its easy customization. Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts, or mix in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or butterscotch chips. You can also fold in 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips or toffee bits. The possibilities are endless!

Variations & Additions

Add Nuts: Fold in chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds for added crunch and flavor.
Swirl: Swirl in some Nutella, Biscoff or Peanut Butter before baking for a marbled effect.
S'Mores Brownies: Top your brownie batter with marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs for a fun twist on a classic treat.

Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free cream cheese and oil to make these brownies suitable for those with dairy allergies or dietary preferences.
Vegan Version: Substitute cream cheese with a vegan-friendly alternative and ensure your brownie mix is vegan-friendly as well.
Extra Add-Ins: Feel free to get creative with your mix-ins! From chocolate chips to dried fruit or sprinkles, the possibilities are endless.

Spice it up: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, chili powder, cayenne pepper, or crushed red pepper flakes to boost the flavor. You can also add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract or orange zest for extra flavor.
