"These brownies can be mixed together in 60 seconds or less. Not as good as from-scratch, but the flavor combinations are endless, and it's as easy as anything. Adapted from a recipe at http://tinyurl.com/nxgtva"

• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 16 2
• Serves: 16

ingredients

• 1 (18 ounce) box cake mix, any flavor
• 1 (1 1/2 ounce) box sugar-free gelatin mix, any flavor
• 3 large eggs
• 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 -3 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder (optional)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F Spray an 8x8" square cake pan liberally with non-stick spray.
2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir until well blended. Pour into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. For a marbled effect, only add the gelatin to two-thirds of the cake batter. Pour the batter with the gelatin into the pan, then top with the plain batter and swirl together with the blade of a butter knife. Alternately, remove 1/3 of the batter and stir in a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder; proceed as above.
4. Flavor combinations are endless. Try orange gelatin with a chocolate cake, or orange gelatin/white cake and the cocoa marble above. Try cherry or raspberry gelatin with chocolate cake, lemon gelatin with spice cake, or anything with yellow or white cake.
