How to Make Quick And Decadent Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) brownie mix, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (or substitute with 1 tablespoon Kahlua and 1/4 cup strong coffee). Mix by hand until well combined.
  4. Add 1 cup chocolate chips (a mix of milk, dark, and semi-sweet is recommended) and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
