How To Make Ghirardelli Brownies (From the Box)

Ingredients:

• 1 (18-ounce) box Ghirardelli Brownie Mix
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup water
• 1 large egg

Instructions:

1. Prep Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, oil, and egg. Stir with a spoon or spatula until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth. If your box includes an extra packet of chocolate syrup, mix that in as well.
3. Bake: Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes (for a metal pan) or 45-50 minutes (for a glass or ceramic dish).
4. Cool and Serve: The brownies are done when the center is set and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let them cool completely before slicing.

Recipe Tips

• How do I get a perfectly fudgy brownie? The key to a fudgy, gooey center is to not overbake. The brownies are ready to come out of the oven when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not completely clean. They will continue to set as they cool.
• Can I add other mix-ins? Absolutely! Feel free to fold in about 1 cup of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans), different flavored chips (like peanut butter or white chocolate), or mini marshmallows to the batter before baking.
• How do I get clean, neat slices? For the cleanest cuts, it is essential that the brownies are completely cool. Chilling them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before slicing also helps. Use a large, sharp knife and wipe the blade clean between each cut.
• Why do the brownies need to cool in the pan? Fudgy brownies are very soft and delicate when they first come out of the oven. Letting them cool completely on the baking pan allows them to set up properly so they can be sliced without falling apart.

What To Serve With Ghirardelli Brownies

These rich and decadent brownies are a perfect treat on their own, but they are even more delicious with:

• A tall, cold glass of milk.
• A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge sauce.
• A dusting of powdered sugar and a side of fresh raspberries.

How To Store Brownies

Store: Place the cooled brownies in an airtight container or wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. They will stay fresh at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
