There, I said it.
Here are seven easy ways I dress up a box of brownies when the craving strikes.
Switch the Liquid
Switch up the liquid for something more flavorfulboxed brownie mixes typically call for water.

Think Nutella, peanut butter,caramel, cream cheese, or some combination of all four.
I’ve been dreaming of brownies topped with swirls of peanut butter and good old-fashioned marshmallow fluff!
The extra egg yolks will give your brownies a fudgier texture.
Salt + Chocolate = BFFs
This is the easiest way to upgrade boxed brownies.
Salt enhances the natural flavors and sweetness in chocolate and suppresses its bitterness.
Sprinkle a few pinches of flaky salt on top of the brownie batter before baking.
If the box instructions call for melted butter, brown it first to add rich, nuttiness.
Add Some Fruit
I love folding fresh raspberries or strawberries into the batter before baking.
Something about the combination of dark chocolate and sweet, tart berries just works.
