When you don’t have the time, ingredients, and/or inclination to make brownies from scratch which brownie mix should you choose?
Several months ago the folks at Cook’s Illustrated
I thought it would be fun to have a boxed brownie tasting of our own. When I was with my extended family over the holidays, I enlisted their help. Since there were only nine of us, we limited our tasting to 3 of the top Cook’s Illustrated rated brownie mixes.

Here’s another great idea for taking something really easy - a box of brownie mix - and dressing it up to make it special. These are brownies that I cut with round cutter and then topped with ganache and a fresh raspberry.
Ganache is one of those things that sounds complicated but is really simple. It’s just a combination of hot cream and chocolate stirred together until smooth and shiny. Sometimes a little butter is added for extra shininess.
Talk about transforming a plain pan of brownies into an impressive dessert! I got the idea from Betty Crocker, when I wanted a nice dessert to take to my friend Nancy, who invited us for dinner.

What do you get when you cross chocolate chip cookie dough with chocolate brownie batter? Cookie Dough Brownies.
I’ve seen recipes for from scratch chocolate chip cookie dough brownies in various cookbooks and on internet recipe sites. While they sounded good, they also seemed like quite a bit of work. It’s the kind of thing I would have thought nothing of making back in my 20s or 30s. These days I’m on the lookout for delicious shortcut recipes that take less time and effort but still taste great.

I know this may sound like sacrilege, but I think I prefer blonde brownies over chocolate ones. Don’t get me wrong - I love chocolate and would never turn down a delicious fudgy homemade brownie. It’s just that I prefer the butterscotchy goodness of blonde brownies more.

This is an easy cream cheese swirl brownies recipe that begins with a boxed brownie mix.
It’s amazing how the simple addition of a cream cheese swirl raises the standard box of chocolate brownie mix into something extra special.
