Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. I love to use a box mix because it saves time and guarantees a fudgy texture. Once the brownie batter is ready, pour it into your greased 9×13 inch baking dish and bake it for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. The smell of brownies baking is simply intoxicating! Once out of the oven, allow it to cool completely before moving onto the next step. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
