"If the brownie mix contains a package of chocolate syrup, save for another use, you can use it for an ice cream or cake topping.."

This is quick and easy and a better use for brownie mix. I omitted the nuts and added a few tablespoons each of cocoa and vegetable oil. I formed something of 2 logs on seperate cookie sheets (about 4 inches wide). Bake them for about 20 minutes, cool a few minutes and cut carefully. Bake cut side down about 10 minutes and then turn to the other cut side and bake another 10 minutes. Consider adding chocolate chips to the batter and drizzling with melted white, milk or dark chocolate (mixed with a little crisco). Thanks for a good recipe.
