So, ever since Jeff and I got married, I have tried so hard to make brownies from scratch that taste exactly like the boxed brownie kind (his favorite). Weird, I know... I just do not particularly enjoy knowing that my brownies might have unidentified chemicals and substances in the actual mix, so I wanted to do something a little more homemade, where I actually kind of knew a little more of what was going into them. Anyway, I tried these, and they came pretty darn close. Enjoy!
"You can either bag the mix for future use or go ahead and make the brownies. You can also use a high quality cocoa to improve the flavor. Customize it with chips, nuts or whatever you like. I found this on a blog for saving money. Making it yourself should save you about 80- 85%"
