Ingredients for Bavarian Brownies Cake Mix

  • German Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • Egg
  • Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

How to Make Bavarian Brownies Cake Mix

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan. (Alternatively, spray with non-stick cooking spray)
  3. In a large bowl, combine the entire box of cake mix, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined (about 2 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. (Optional: Add other nuts or mix-ins)
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake!
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to set properly and makes for easier cutting.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
