No-Fail Easy Cake Mix Brownies

I've been in a " Brownie Craving Mode " lately and I came across this recipe and decided to try it. Since I didn't have any walnuts or chocolate chips, the same amount of peanut butter/chocolate blend chips were used Other than that change, the recipe was followed as it was written.After pouring it into the prepared dish, I realized that I didn't have the required patience it took to spread this out.:) So I sprayed a plastic spatula with a bit of cooking spray, spread the batter around that way.After the intital baking time, I did have to bake the recipe a bit longer than stated.( I think my oven isn't working right, but as long as it worked out it's o.k..) Now, on to the best part, the tasting :) All I can say is, " OMGoodness !!!! The one that I had was so good, I had to have another one right away. Thanks for posting this recipe which will be made again and again. " Keep Smiling :) "

I promised my two daughters I would make brownies...only to find no brownie mix in the cabinet. I found your recipe and went to work only to discover I had only yellow cake mixes. I used the yellow cake mix and added chocolate chips. This was loved by my whole family! Next, I will try with the chocolate cake mix, but will use the yellow as a variation! Thanks!

I followed the directions exactly, but they ended up tasting a lot like a cake mix to me with a texture similar to cake (rather than brownies). I used the chocolate chips, so maybe they'd taste better with the walnuts.

My mom has made these or her church bake sale a few times. They sale rather quickly so usually we're lucky if there are any left post bake sale. She's also recently made this as one of her Thanksgiving desserts we still have some left over but I'm not complaining...Yummm:P Thanks for the recipe.

I can only give full stars but this really deserves 4.5 stars. Easy, easy and great results. Hubby made them with the kids and he said he'd have preferred more nuts than the recipe called for. Definitely going into the recipe box. THANKS!

These are the best brownies I have ever had. And believe me, I have had a lot. I baked them in a 13 x 9 glass pan and I added both walnuts and chocolate chips. They are perfect except for one thing, WE CAN'T STOP EATING THEM.

These were ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS !!! Very enjoyable. I used walnuts instead of chocolate chips. I also used chocolate frosting. Got to make another batch for the guys at work. Yet another 5 starer by kitten. Made for Zaar Stars.

I made these for my hubby because brownies are his absolute favorite treat. Unfortunately, he didn't really care much for these. He said he'd much prefer regular brownie mix brownies. I did not try the baked brownies myself, but I did taste the batter and thought that was good. They were very easy to make. I don't think I'll make them again though as most of the pan I made went into the trash.

I had high hopes that this recipe would turn out brownie-like rather than cake-like, but sadly it did not. I think another reviewer mentioned using Betty Crocker mix, which is what I used as well. This may have impacted the texture. The taste is good, but I had hoped for a denser, chewier texture. I'll have to try again with a different brand of mix.

I have to assume the wildly different descriptions of the final product are due to the different brands/flavors of cake mix being used. I used a Betty Crocker Devils Food mix. I followed the recipe and added the nuts (walnuts). The results tasted more cake-like than brownie-like. Not chewy and super-dense like the box brownie mix. I would not make it again. I wish I had just made the cake.

Not quite the texture or flavor of brownies, but really hit the spot when I was craving brownies and only had cake mix.

This cake came out very brownie-like for me, despite the negative feedback from others. By itself, it's pretty good. I also made a peanut butter icing which adds another component of sweetness to it.
I didn't have measuring cups, so I estimated the amounts and it still came out fine. Very good brownie cake!

I made these "brownies" while pregnant and having a brownie moment. While they were more fudge-like then cake mix should be they didn't quite have taste of a real brownie. Sadly no one really ate them for that reason. While these weren't bad they are also not a substitute for brownies!

These are awesome - I did a search for a cake mix brownie recipe and found this one. Followed the recipe to the 'T', used a devils food cake mix and about 3/4 cup of Hershey's White Chocolate Chips, plus the 1/3 cup brown sugar - baked for 50 min. or a bit less, but used a 7x11 Pyrex glass baking dish. Use butter spray no-stick, came out of the pan with EASE - Let them cool a few hours. Thanks so much for this recipe, it really adds to the flavour when you use the brown sugar. WELL NO WONDER these are so good, the recipe is from Canada...! Oh Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Awful. Tasted like cake mix. You are better off using a brownie mix.

Terrifico!!! Fabuloso!! Oh boyoh how I wish I really knew how to give adjectives in a foreign language! All I can say in English is....these brownies are FABULOUS in everyway. Very simple to put together using a KA Mixer - are HEAVENLY in flavors and very moist! I used chocolate chips to mix in and even toppped the brownies with chips before baking for a pretty top! Thanks Kitt for one more STAR in the Zaar Stars game! :)

Delicious and easy to prepare with pantry staples. Plan to try again with pecans and caramel. Taste is better than brownie mix and much quicker too. Thanks Kittencal for another winner!
