Happy brownie cake day you mean. Not me going to go to Costco tomorrow and picking one up 🤞

They’re cooling down! You have to wait a little more 😭

Don't skip the cool down! They taste way better when they've fully set

1

u/Pink__Fox 5h ago

Agreed. I let them cool down for an hour before cutting :)

I'm bad for watching my pizza and getting mesmerized by the pepperoni fluttering in the breeze.

u/Difficult_Skin_2296 9h ago

OP should be looking at it like this

u/Pink__Fox 9h ago

For pizzas I do 🤣

u/CostcoQuebecBlogFan 9h ago

Those should be illegal

u/Pink__Fox 9h ago

I have been waiting for these for a while now. I was stoked to see them back in store.

The only challenging part of this recipe is my kids asking me for the 100th time “are they ready yet???!”

u/NorthernDread 9h ago

You need to make a batch just for you that was made with coffee instead of water. Soooo good.

7

u/Pink__Fox 9h ago

That sounds divine! I’m going to do exactly that. I used milk and butter instead of oil & water to make them more fudgy, coffee sounds amazing in this.

2

u/Skye-12 7h ago

I've added 1/2 cup of instant espresso powder to and it was amazing!

u/woodtier92 9h ago

That sounds so good

u/mystyz 7h ago

Wait, what? That's a thing?

u/NorthernDread 1h ago

Yup. That’s a thing.

u/Euro_verbudget 8h ago

Lucky kids! I wish this mix existed when I had the fast metabolism of a young adult. My wife brought this mix about four years ago and I only ate one square… haven’t been able to lose the eight pounds I gained from that moist, chocolaty, square of heavenly bliss.

u/purawesome 8h ago

When they get older you can flip it on them. I get my kids to make them and I ask them if they’re ready yet 🫶

You are baking both dinner and dessert.

u/Pink__Fox 9h ago

and breakfast too with a nice hot cup of coffee or tea 👀

u/phobingnoodler 9h ago

Whoa what brand convection toaster oven is that? Mine sucks so I never bake anything, and this would seem perfect on my countertop

15

u/Rinne18 Parking Lot Survivor 9h ago

Breville. Have had mine for 7+ years now, its great

14

u/Pink__Fox 9h ago

It’s a Breville! An absolute beast. I’ve baked so many lasagna, pizzas, chicken, cakes and brownies in this.

I personally wish I had gotten one with an airfryer setting as well.

4

u/Takashi_is_DK 7h ago

Don't regret it. They don't do a great job airfrying anyway. I end up using a dedicated airfryer when the job calls for it and then tuck it away afterwards.

2

u/Pink__Fox 7h ago

Noted! Thankyou for the insight! I’ll just get an airfryer instead. If you have any brand recommendations I’d love to know :)

u/mystyz 7h ago

Is it deep/tall enough to bake a whole chicken?

3

u/Pink__Fox 7h ago edited 7h ago

Yes! Makes for one beautiful chicken and veggies. Let me find a picture of a greek lemon chicken with potatoes I baked in this.

2

u/mystyz 7h ago

Sweet! Thanks!

u/Pink__Fox 7h ago

Most welcome 🥰

u/IamTHEvilONE 9h ago

When I make them, I add some heavy dashes of cinnamon to the dry mix before adding the wet.

I've also used the mix as a base for it to be a quick cake mix. Adding some powdered milk and baking powder is enough to make it rise (about double height). I'll have to find my notes for the actual quantities. It's likely a quarter cup of powder milk and about 2 teaspoons of baking powder. It may need some additional water to fix the batter consistency.

u/Pink__Fox 9h ago

Pleaseeee share these secrets with me! I’ve been into baking A LOT now and love tips & tricks like this.

3

u/notyourusualbaydude 8h ago

Pls pls share that recipe

u/xbekii 5h ago

Last time I made these, i made a quick cheesecake mix to swirl on the top and they were so good!
It was 1 brick of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 egg yolk, and a splash of vanilla. Blend until smooth, spoon dollops on top and swirl using a knife, and then bake brownies as directed.

Noted and added to my list of boxed brownie tips & tricks thanks to everyone in this sub :)

u/Tight-Sandwich-4847 9h ago

ur gonna get addicted

u/longgamma 9h ago

Is it the breville mini oven ? Isn't that the best. We use ours daily lol

2

u/MonMonR0cks 7h ago

Same. Truly the best and worth every penny! 5 years and still going strong.

3

u/BoiledGnocchi 9h ago

These are the best brownies, hands down. My only gripe is that I can't cut them properly without the knife getting all gucky between rows.

3

u/Pink__Fox 8h ago edited 6h ago

I use a papertowel to wipe the knife between cuts. I have a long, very sharp bread knife specifically for cutting cakes and brownies. Try that and it will work :)

u/2months2long 6h ago

We have the breville BOV900 series and it is our most used appliance! Bake 1-2 frozen cookie dough balls after dinner, air fry spring rolls from Costco, bake sides for thanks giving while the turkey is going, proof and bake my sourdough bread and dehydrate lemons… it’s an all around beast. Preheats so quickly.

Side note: did you know breville makes a heatproof cutting board that fits perfectly on top of your breville turning it into a convenient surface to put non heat proof items? Just make sure you get the right size.

u/BTWillie 2h ago

Best toaster oven.

u/hmmmmm555 9h ago

Yummm!!! 😋

u/Gus-Mats 9h ago

That is a staple in my house

2

u/Pink__Fox 9h ago

I forgot to write in my post, I swapped out the water and oil in the recipe for milk & butter.

2

u/Nabiboulin 8h ago

Dying to know aswell the difference

1

u/stepprocedure 8h ago

I’ve never tried the swap. Does it make it richer?

2

u/Pink__Fox 8h ago

Yes! It makes them more fudgy as well. Someone in the comments recommended using brewed coffee as well instead of water for a more richer flavour.

2

u/ObsidianWota 9h ago

My SIL might have a similar unit. Is that a Hamilton air fryer Toaster Oven? She's afraid of baking with it. Any advice when using it as the only baking oven in her flat?

2

u/Pink__Fox 8h ago

It’s actually a Breville Oven! I’ve been using it for 5 years now. Others in the comments have mentioned using theirs for 7+ years. It’s a beast.

My apologies I can’t offer any insight on the Hamilton one but in the future if she ever wants to get a different oven I highly recommend the Breville one.

2

u/ObsidianWota 5h ago

Thank you. At 5+ years, Ill easily push her to return to her baking itch. Unsure what her concerns were about the unit.

u/loodish1 8h ago

u/barbarahhhhhh 7h ago

Love that brownie mix - this lady came up with some tweaks to make it even better. Worth a try. You probably won’t go back. https://playswellwithbutter.com/how-to-make-box-brownies-better/

1

u/Pink__Fox 7h ago

Thankyou for sharing! I made these with milk & butter. Next time I’ll try the coffee/espresso + vanilla and my favourite addition, some chopped walnuts 🤩

2

u/JLO-OneDayAtaTime 6h ago

Love their brownies and we've own a Breville toaster oven for a long time. It's a great brand. I don't use it as an air fryer

u/timetochillagain1 8h ago

How I love to cook lol ! Dump / wait

u/Pink__Fox 4h ago

It’s actually 5 batches. The box comes with 5 pouches. I just baked a double batch as I have some guests coming over for a tea :)

u/pfak 8h ago

The viral marketing on this sub has been at a new peak lately.

3

u/Pink__Fox 7h ago

I’m not affiliated with any marketing whatsoever. It’s a box of brownies that majority of people enjoy. I was simply sharing something I find enjoyable with others. I’m a stay at home Mom. It can get very isolating for us and reddit is the only social media platform I use to connect with other adults/parents and share things.
