Our favorite tips for elevating boxed brownies to a level you didn’t even think was possible.
While brownies made from scratch are delicious in their own right, for me, boxed brownies will always reign supreme. They’re easy and reliable, and—contrary to other quick alternatives, like canned soup, that are chosen more for convenience than flavor—are actually pretty equal to their homemade counterparts. Sometimes there’s a craving for a fudgy brownie with a glossy top that only a box of Duncan Hines or Ghirardelli can fulfill.
But while I’m loyal to boxed brownies, there are plenty of times that call for taking the batter to the next level. Whether you want to bring them over to a friend’s house, or just make movie night a little more special, sprucing up a box of brownie batter is an incredibly simple task. I have my own tricks for doing this, and I also know my colleagues do, too. Here are our favorite tips for elevating the boxed brownies you already love to a level you didn’t even think was possible.
Candied fruit like orange peel, ginger, or pineapple are great for extra sweetness and chew. When mixing in preserved or fresh fruits, Genevieve recommends tossing them in a bit of flour before incorporating into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom. SomeSpices and salts can really transform the overall flavor of a brownie. Chile powder is famous for pairing well with chocolate, so you can start by adding a small amount—about 1/2 teaspoon—and adjusting to your liking.
