It’s is already in your fridge.

However, one thing that always bothered me about boxed brownies was how greasy they were.

Thats how I discovered the perfect one-ingredient swap for better boxed brownies:replacing the oil with melted butter.

It makes the brownies no longer taste oily but like a decadent treat youd get at a bakery.

After all, you want your brownies to taste like brownies, not oil.

To try this swap, melt the same amount of butter as the box calls for oil.

I measure the butter before I melt it.

you’re able to melt the butter on the stove or in the microwave.

I loveGhirardellis brownie mixes, but any brand mix will work for this swap.

Serve them withvanilla ice cream, berries, or the classic cup of milk.
