QUICK AND EASY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
• Combine the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, eggs, flour, baking powder, and salt. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Decorate with walnut halves, if desired.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with crumbs, not wet. Cool on wire rack.

27 BROWNIE MIX DESSERTS IDEAS

Steps:

• Pre-Heat your oven to 350°F. Place foil in your 8-inch square pan. You want excess to hang over the edges of the pan. Grease the entire cooking pan with cooking spray. After brownie batter is made, take out 1 cup and set it aside. Place the rest in the pan and bake for 12 minutes.
• Then in a small microwave-safe bowl, put the caramels and whipping cream inside uncovered and microwave for 30 seconds, then stir and microwave for another 30 seconds. Continue to microwave at 15-second at a time until completely smooth.
• Pour the caramel mix over some of the baked brownies, then carefully spread it around the top. Sprinkle on 1/4 cup of pecans. Take the brownie batter you have on the side and place onto the caramel layer in spoonfuls; spread evenly. Sprinkle chocolate chunks and the remaining 1/4 cup pecans to the very top.
• Bake another 32 to 35 minutes or until the toothpick comes out almost clean when tested. Remove from oven and let cool 1 hour before placing in the refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Lift and remove brownies from the pan using the foil, then peel the foil off the brownies. Cut, serve and enjoy!

EASY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan forced).
• Spray a 20cm/8" square tin with oil and line with baking/parchment paper with overhang (Note 2).
• Place butter and chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, microwave in 30 second bursts (takes me 1m 30 sec) until melted. Stir until smooth.
• Add sugar and vanilla, mix, then add eggs and mix well until smooth and molten.
• Add flour, cocoa and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in chopped chocolate, pour into pan.
• Bake 24 minutes for really gooey in the centre, 28 minutes for fudgey but still very moist (my favourie, shown in video & photos), 32 minutes for moist fudge-cake-like. (See in post for toothpick testphotos).
• If you didn't use the extra chocolate for stirring in, reduce cook time by 2 minutes.
• Rest for 10 minutes before lifting out of the pan. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting. Store in an airtight container for 4 days (bet they don't last that long!) or freeze for 3 months.

STRAWBERRY BROWNIE SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to the temperature indicated on the brownie mix box. Spray 2 8" round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake according to the box instructions. Let cool on wire racks, then turn out of the pans. If the top of the cakes are domed, slice the tops with a serrated knife so you have an even, flat, cake. Put 1 brownie cake on a serving platter to form the bottom layer.
• Fold the sour cream into the whipped cream. Spread the brownie with about half of the whipped cream mixture and half of the berries. Place the second brownie layer on top. Add a scoop of the whipped cream mixture and a few berries. Slice and serve with extra berries and whipped cream mixture.

BROWNIE AND STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, allowing some to hang over edges of pan. Grease bottom and sides of foil with shortening or cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread in pan.
• Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Freeze in pan 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat milk and pudding mix with wire whisk about 2 minutes or until thickened; set aside. In medium bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into pudding mixture until well combined. Cover; refrigerate until serving.
• Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan, and peel foil away. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows, making 24 squares. Place 1 brownie square on each of 12 individual dessert plates. Top each square with 3 tablespoons of the pudding mixture and 1 tablespoon of the strawberries. Top each shortcake with another brownie square, 2 more tablespoons of pudding mixture and 1 tablespoon strawberries. Store covered in refrigerator.
