Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box red velvet cake mix (I used Duncan Hines, but any kind will work)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (cooled slightly so that it doesn't scramble the eggs)
  • 2 large eggs
  • Chocolate chips for topping, if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix...a few streaks are ok. Batter will be thick!
  • Spread into the prepared pan and top with chocolate chips (if using). Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set, the center is just slightly soft, and a toothpick inserted into the center of brownies comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are ok, as we want soft brownies). Let cool completely in pan, then cut into bars.

Notes

  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can refrigerate these for up to 6 days, which will keep them fudgier.
  • To freeze: wrap each brownie in plastic wrap or separate bars using parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe container or bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, let thaw completely in the refridgerator. 
  • Topping ideas: milk chocolate chips; white chocolate chips; festive sprinkles; M&M candies.
