How to Make Cake Mix Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, and 1 cup water. Mix with a hand mixer until well combined.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir in 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the cake batter until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (Do not overbake!)
  7. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  8. For variations: Try using yellow cake mix and white chocolate chips for blondies, or add 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, or other desired mix-ins to the batter before baking.
