I have a problem. I can’t have dessert around or I EAT IT ALL. Therefore my poor family never gets dessert. But, lately I can’t keep either of my kids filled up. So, when I started flipping through the Everyday Simple Suppers from Gooseberry Patch, I decided I could make them dessert. Especially one that is as quick and easy as cake mix brownies.
Let me just tell you, these brownies require a meat fork to eat as fast as this kid ate his brownie!
Seriously, if you look that happy after shoveling brownie into your mouth with a fork that size, you know it has to be good. Plus, it was oh so simple. These brownies are cinch. A standard cake mix, water, oil and an egg. That’s it people.
Bake these mixture for 20-25 minutes on 350 degrees. Top with frosting and nuts. Or not. Or just frosting. I made this awesome 2 minute frosting. I sort of took this 1 minute frosting and tweaked. Dark chocolate, butter, milk, powdered sugar. Yes, Please!!
Trusting me when I say these two recipes are a marriage made in heaven.

- 1 3/4 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup regular or evaporated milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
-
Combine chocolate chips, milk, butter and vanilla in microwave-proof bowl. Microwave on full power for 30-40 seconds.
-
Remove and whisk. If chocolate chips are frozen like mine, microwave again for 30 seconds. Whisk again until chocolate chips melt and mixture is smooth.
-
Add powdered sugar by sifting to ensure smoothest frosting and continue to whisk until smooth.
-
Spread the frosting while still warm. This will help the frosting spread easier and keep you from damaging the cake or brownies.

Ridiculously delicious! Poured the icing on and served in a bowl. No one could get enough! So easy to make after a long day of running around and all ingredients were already in my kitchen. Thanks for making our evening

I found your recipe doing a Google search. I have made this several times now and we LOVE it! I like that you can add whatever you want to the batter as well…last time we did white chocolate chips, the time before that, cut up peanut butter cups. So easy and so good!
