Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 0.33 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., chopped nuts, caramel bits)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Step 3
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins like chopped nuts or caramel bits if desired.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Step 6
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Step 7
Serve and enjoy your quick and delicious Heloise's Cake Mix Brownies!
