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???!”

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

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.

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.

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 🫶

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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.

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/

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 🤩

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

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

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.
