Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Yes, you can substitute the chocolate cake mix with a vanilla or red velvet cake mix for a different flavor profile. Keep in mind that the final taste and texture will vary, but it can be a fun twist on the traditional brownie.
What if I don’t have Pet milk?
If you don't have Pet milk, you can use regular evaporated milk or even whole milk as a substitute. The consistency might differ slightly, but it will still provide the necessary creaminess for the caramel and cake mix.
How can I make these brownies gluten-free?
To make gluten-free brownies, substitute the chocolate cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix. Ensure all other ingredients are also gluten-free to avoid contamination. This way, you can enjoy the rich flavors without the gluten.
