Personally, when I am looking for something to satisfy my sweet tooth, I turn to anything chocolatey. I am known to be one of the worst cooks/bakers in my house. Sometimes I ask myself, why even bother making desserts when I can get them from all the dining halls on campus? The only problem is, there is not always going to be brownies served. Not only are brownies a comfort food, but they are delicious.
I decided to test out my skills this week and start simple with Betty Crocker’s milk chocolate brownies. The ingredients were fairly cheap, and I even included sprinkles to add on top. This dessert is something that can be easily made, especially in the kitchens at the dorms on campus.
The finished product was amazing and the brownies were very smooth and chewy, just the way I like them!
Ingredients:
1 box of Betty Crocker’s milk chocolate brownie mix
1/2 cup of vegetable oil (may substitute with olive oil if necessary)
3 tablespoons of water
2 eggs
Dallie’s edible décor (sprinkles)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven accordingly to the amount being made. In this case, I am using a 13x9 inch pan, which requires preheating of 350 degrees.
2. Pour the brownie mix, 3 tablespoons of water, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and two eggs into a bowl and stir it until it is well blended.
3. Once blended well, stir the mix into the pan.
4. If you want to add toppings, they can be added when the brownies are halfway done and pour them on top.
5. Bake for 24-26 minutes or stick a toothpick in until it comes out clean.
