How to Make Box Brownies Better - Moist, Fudgy, and So Easy! (2024)

Fabulous and delicious

Very good 😋😋😋 I had mix and walnuts on 1/2

Delicious 😋

This recipe looks awesome! Our neighbors were kind enough to let us use their dumpster rental for a few of our things so I wanted to try making them something sweet to say thank you! This recipe seems very doable, thank you for sharing!

My brownies are in the oven now but I’m wondering if I messed up. I used Ghirardelli Supreme mix, which I just realized only calls for 1/3 cup of oil. I used 2/3 cup but just saw the recipe was based on a mix that called for 2/3. Because I’m high altitude, I also added 1/4 cup flour.

I made a double batch of these for a party. They were a little hard to cut because they are so super fudgy, but I assumed that was because I had doubled the recipe and they were really thick. They were SO GOOD though. I have a “normal” sized pan cooling right now and I am super excited to cut them!

Using this recipe for the first time. Crossing my fingers it tastes as good as it looks. Thanks for the tips and tricks.

Can I use butter instead of oil

This recipe is so good!!! I took it to a party and they were gone in no time! I was hoping for leftovers!

I have used this recipe over and over again because it has been such a hit!Thank you for this recipe. It is truly sinful!

*****5 stars!*****I’m on a sugar-free diet, so I modified this recipe accordingly. I used 2 boxes of Pillsbury Zero-Sugar Chocolate Fudge brownie mix (because 1 box is only 12.35oz), and 1 cup of sugar-free chocolate chips. Using this recipe as a guide, I used 2/3 c. canola oil, 6 Tbsp. brewed coffee, 2 eggs, 1/3 c. plain whole milk yogurt, and 1 Tbsp. vanilla. I baked it in a dark pan, so I set the oven for 325° and baked the brownies for 32 minutes. They turned out SO. DARN. GOOD. Rich, moist, not quite fudgy, not quite cakey, but somewhere perfectly in between. Absolutely decadent, and in no way could my family tell these were sugar-free! We enjoyed them a la mode w/sugar-free vanilla ice cream. I highly recommend these brownies for anyone craving chocolate but needing to watch their sugar intake. You will not be disappointed!

Loved it!!

This recipe is superb!! Grandkids loved them!

The best recipes for boxed brownies to make them tastier!!

Best brownies ever! I will always use this recipe.

Did what it said it would 🙂

Loved this recipe for enhancing brownies! I added walnut haves to the top before baking. Family loved it. Thank you!!

Taste beautiful, thank you so much

Delicious. I made two patches. Very good. Very easy to make

Absolutely delicious were gone in a couple of hours!

I tried this recipe and oh man it was so good

I saw this recipe and just had to try it simply because it paired some of my favorites with chocolate.

I am a from-scratch baker known for my chocolate desserts. I decided to give this a try! I used an 18.3 oz box of Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie Mix. Though the box calls for 1/2 cup oil, I used the 2/3 cup as stated in this recipe. I reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp as we like to cut back on salt. I used whole milk instead of buttermilk because that’s what I had on hand. I was careful to only stir until combined and not to overbake. As soon as it was cool, I covered it tightly with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for a few hours as something magical happens when you refrigerate brownies. These were the perfect, dense, fudgy brownie that we love. I will make these again and again. No one would suspect they stem from a box mix.

I will NEVER follow another recipe! This was perfect! I didn’t have Buttermilk so I used Whole Milk and these taste better than any bakery I have ever ate at.Total game changer. ♥️ Thank you for sharing, my life somehow feels complete 😅

I made these for a party and they were a big hit! Absolutely delicious. Making two batches as writing this review!

Brownies have never been easier to make.

Best brownies I have ever had!! I would of never thought about using coffee in my mix.

Good, but would maybe cut the salt amount in half next time. Very salty.

I had a smaller mix so I stuck with with the same measurement of oil added the buttermilk used the 2 eggs vanilla no coffee baking now. I hope it comes out.

Came out delicious!! I used coconut oil, very good, added lots of flavor. That’s all I changed.

Fantastic. Actually waiting for them to cool, cannot wait. Added vanilla, milk, chocolate chips, pecans and sea salted on top and covered in semisweet chips to ice them. They look amazing. Getting ready for Super Bowl

Made in Pampered Chef Brownie pan (everyone gets crispy edges!) at high altitude without chips – and 1/2 tsp salt. Frosted & decorated. 19 minutes. Perfection!

a bit salty but overall very good

My kids said best brownies I ever made!Love this recipe.

Excellent chewy and crispy edges. Most people think this recipe is from scratch. Gets rave reviews.

even just adding salt and swapping milk about will change EVERYTHING about the box brownies, incredible

This recipe was very easy to make and very delicious!My Marriage bible study group loved them. I will be making these again. I baked them for 35 minutes and they were nice and chewy with crunchy edges. I will definitely make this again and share this recipe. Thank you for sharing.

I ate some of the batter and I was like oh my goodness it’s going to be awesome. It didn’t take as long to bake as it called for it was done with 11 minutes left otherwise it would have burned so good that I was checking my time

I made a box of brownies according to the box instructions. Not good but I had purchased 3 boxes because they were on sale. So I came upon this recipe. I tried it and wow, they turned out delicious! I was able to use the other 2 boxes with similar results. I am using this as a small dessert after our Holiday company dinner. I plan to sprinkle crushed up peppermint stick on top for the Holiday spirit. Thank you for great instructions and results!

I absolutely love this recipe! Very moist and decadent. I wasn’t aware of the note at the bottom regarding the amount of oil to use, so that will be helpful for next time.

So Good!!!

Amazing! Delectable! A real crowd pleaser. I liked using the chocolate chunks better. The brownies were moist and just so chocolatey! I am making some more tonight for the guys to take as dessert to the football game.

Great flavor.I had to make a couple of adjustments with what I had on hand.I didn’t have buttermilk so I used 1/2 & 1/2.I didn’t have the standard instant coffee granules so I used 3/4 Tbl. Espresso Powder.I used 1/2 Tbl Vanilla & 1/2 Tbl Cream Cheese Emulsion.I baked these in a 8×12 pan. I loved the flavor of everything. They turned out so moist and found it very hard to resist cutting into them as soon as they came out of the oven lol.This recipe is a keeper!

Made these this morning with one exception. I didn’t have espresso powder. They are awesome! Sheer perfection in an 8×8 glass pan. Checked after 35 minutes but they needed 40 minutes. Thanks very much!

We loved them! Great texture and taste!!

These were absolutely delicious, and I will never make brownie mix by the instructions alone ever again! The salt alone is a huge plus, but everything else comes together SO deliciously. Thank you!

Worked out great. I take desserts for our men and women’s shelter. They love anything homemade.

Definitely a recipe keeper. Going to try again.. I used 1/2C chopped chocolate candy melts and 1/2 C chocolate chips and it was Devine.

These are the best brownies I have EVER had in my life! Didn’t even add the choc. chips and used the cheapest brownie mix ya can find at walmart! So fudgey!

These were the bomb. Everyone loved, loved, loved them. I will always make them this way for now on. Thank You !

You’ve got to try this one…I won’t make brownies from a box ever again without this recipe! Based on my family’s tastes, I eliminated the salt and used a teaspoon of instant expresso instead of regular coffee, and baked just a little longer in ceramic pan (50 minutes). Rave reviews from every one of my picky eaters!

YUM!!
