I use to make brownies from Duncan Hines cake mix. I think it was the butter recipe one. Now I can't remember how to make it. THe recipe was on the box for years & I guess I never saved one. I think it was 2 eggs & 1 stick of melted butter , cup of chocolate chips & 1 to 2 cups of minature marshmallows. Bake. Well I just made some & I used the regular mix & to me they don't taste good. Anybody remember.

the regular size of Libby's pumpkin not mix. Maybe 16 oz- not sure of the amount. Sorry. You can also mix one can of diet soda (we like diet cherry coke) and a box of cake mix (the lower sugar chocolate one) and 1/4 cup egg whites (not necessary but it helps hold the cake together) bake 350 in 9X13 pan for around 30 minutes! Very good and easy.

another great idea- a can of pumpkin and spice cake mix only. bake in muffin tins or cupcake cups. My husband wants these every morning!

Thanks for the recipes and great ideas :D:D:D

lauriejo 01-09-2011 05:44 PM

yummy!

I have never used the cake mix for brownies - sounds like it would be good. Have you tried the website? They do have a great recipe on the dark chocolate fudge cake mix for making chocolate chocolate chip cookies and they are the bomb!!! Good luck - hope you find your recipe!

I wish I didn't read this post. Now I want a whole bunch of cake and cupcakes !! :D:D

Cyn 01-09-2011 07:25 PM

I'm still thinking of pancakes from a post this morning!

CarrieAnne 01-09-2011 07:42 PM

I printed the recipe up and think you could use ANY flavor cake mix and then do the cream cheese thing on it before baking. MMMMM..I am not always ready for chocolate..I know that sounds weird but that's just me...

Sounds really good! I hope someone can find the recipe for you. My kids love brownies! This sounds really easy and I LOVE easy. With four kids, that's about all I can do. However, my kids are older now so that's not as important as it once was. But I still love easy cause it gives me more time to do other things ...like Quilt!

I'm with you, I tend to get Miagrains with choc. so quite often use different then the chocolate.

I make brownies from a brownie mix and 1 (15 oz) can of black beans run thru the blender liquid and all. Stir into mix and bake in greased pan. Good and higher in fiber. Yes just black beans and the brownie mix. Try it.

This sounds good. Are you saying don't add the eggs, oil & water as directed on the mix?

Gail

JJane 01-11-2011 11:57 AM

Yes,
No eggs no oil and only the can of beans with the liquid and the brownie mix. A lot less calories and nice and moist.

Nita 01-12-2011 04:40 AM

I got this recipe from this Board:

1 family size Duncan Hines Fudgy Brownies
1/2 cup Nutella spread

Mix with eggs & water as directed, adding the Nutella. Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 mins. Important not to overbake these brownies.

I made these for Quilt Guild yesterday and they were a big hit

I make a good chocolate chip and pumpkin muffin recipe..They are great for breakfast and snacks...I will have to find it and put it on the board..I usually have a large bag of these in the pantry..I rehear and eat...

I want to share a tip that a friend passed on to me. When making brownies, line the pan with foil and spray the foil with non stick cooking spray. When they cool a little you can lift it right out of the pan. Besides not having to wash a pan, the best part is that the edges and corners are as soft as the middle of the brownies. :)

That is the only way I ever do it.

I used to make the Duncan Hines Butter Fudge Brownies whenever I had a test in college. My roommates always knew my stress level by the particular smell of the apartment.

It was super simple:

1 box Duncan Hines Butter Fudge Cake Mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 13x9-inch pan.

Stir first three ingredients together (like traditional brownie mix). Then stir in chocolate chips and optional nuts. Spread batter into pan. It will be a little thick so press to ends but don't overwork batter. It will spread out because of butter anyway. Bake for 25-35 minutes. Test for doneness.

Debra Mc 07-14-2011 04:44 AM

That is it. I couldn't remember ho many eggs. Thank you. They use to print on box but not anymore.

ssgramma 07-14-2011 04:51 AM

Love the pumpkin idea!!!

Duncan Hines was from Bowling Green :-)

Headsup 07-18-2011 07:26 PM

They also had a great chocolate-chocolate chip cookie recipe on the side of the Dark Chocolate Fudge cake mix if you are interested. It's just as simple and very popular.

craftybear 07-19-2011 01:05 PM

thanks for the tip
