Creamy, chocolatey brownies with a buttery brickle crunch, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and suitable for gatherings or dessert treats.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease and flour a 9 x 12-inch cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, eggs, water, and oleo; mix well.
- Add the butter brickle cake mix to the mixture and stir until smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips last.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of regular ones. If you don’t have oleo, unsalted butter can be substituted. Make sure to mix the batter just until combined to keep the brownies fudgy. You can also add nuts for added crunch, or a swirl of Basic Cream Filling for a delightful surprise.
Serving Suggestions
These butter brickle brownies are delicious on their own but can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. A drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel can also enhance their flavor. For a cozy evening, pair with a cup of coffee or tea, making them a perfect treat for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply microwave a brownie for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until just heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Keep in mind that they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven, so avoid overbaking to maintain their fudgy texture.
Can I add other mix-ins to the batter?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your brownies by adding mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even swirls of peanut butter. Just be mindful not to overload the batter, as this can affect the baking time and texture.
