Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce box chocolate cake mix
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
Mix-ins
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¾ cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with baking spray to ensure the brownies don’t stick.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, melted salted butter, and heavy cream. Stir until well blended. The batter will be thick and dense.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dark and milk chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spread Batter: Evenly spread the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top in an even layer.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 23-26 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with some goo but no raw batter.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. This step ensures they set properly and achieve the perfect fudgy texture.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Freezing: Freeze brownies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- Brownie texture may vary depending on the cake mix brand used—some may yield fudgier or cakier brownies.
- Making substitutions to the recipe may affect texture and flavor; proceed with caution.
- Brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with goo but without batter.
- Do not cut brownies while warm; allow them to cool completely to set the center properly.
