Brownies from a Mix

In order to get perfect brownies from a mix, you need to remember two very important things:  the first is to handle the mix as little as possible; the second is to melt butter flavored Crisco as your oil.  This will produce a very satisfactory brownie that most folks will prefer to scratch brownies. 

Perfect Brownies from a Mix

Any brownie mix

1 egg
2 tbl. of butter Crisco, melted
2 tbl. of Nutella (hazelnut spread)
2 tbl. of Hershey Chocolate Syrup
½ cup of half and half

Preheat oven to 350F

Spray brownie pan with Baker’s Secret spray

In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and fold until blended.  I usually use a fork because it gives me control of the mixture.  Do not overmix.  Place in pan and bake fifteen to twenty minutes.

Chocolate Glaze:

8 oz. of semi sweet chocolate
2 tbl. of butter
A little Hershey’s chocolate syrup
Half and half (about 2 tbl.)

Melt the chocolate and butter slowly.  Add the half and half and blend well.  Pour over the brownies when they come out of the oven.  Allow brownies to cool before cutting.
