Tips on how to make perfect brownies?!?
When I make brownies, I usually buy a brownie mix so I don't have to start from scratch, but they don't taste the greatest!! What can I add to the mix to make it taste better? Maybe some coca? Plz help! Thx
Answers:
Brownie mix is just fine. It's really just pre-measured ingredients, so you're not cheating (listen to Rachael Ray!). Anyway, a good way to make great brownies is to chop up some milk or dark chocolate (depending on what you like). If I've got Hershey's kisses around, I'll just chop up around 20-30 of them, and put it all in a small bowl and microwave for a little less than a minute. DO NOT OVERHEAT THE CHOCOLATE! When you take the chocolate out of the microwave, it may still look a little solid, but if you start mixing it up with a spoon or something, you'll see that it's actually melted. Anyway, add the chocolate to the batter. Stir until incorporated. Then, cut up some MORE chocolate (or use chocolate chips), and put the solid chocolate bits into the batter. Stir. That way, the melted chocolate will make the batter richer while the solid chocolate bits will give you that gooey surprise when the brownies are warmed up.
ALSO, stir in around a tablespoon of coffee to the batter. Coffee REAAAALLY brings out the chocolate taste.
You can also try lining the sides of your baking pan with aluminum foil if you don't like the crusty edges.
