I tried the Barefoot Contessa's Outrageous Brownie Mix for $9 a box . . . this mix blows it away! Absolutely the best mix on the market.

The first time I bought this mix, I made cookies following the (simple) directions...wow! Honestly, I have just never made the brownies...the cookies are so fabulous, when I have the mix around, I have to make them. Better than "from scratch."

I have yet to make the brownies because the cookies are so good!!

I made brownies with the mix, it's great. It came out more "cakey" for me (which I prefer, as I usually don't like brownies). I made them into little brownie bites by using silicon baking cups, brought it to work and my co-workers love them and most still didn't realize I used a mix. I even made them using applesauce instead of butter, they still turned out great.

These were so rich..but not to rich.It had a great fudge quality that was so good..and the little chocolate chips were just so delicious.My girlfriend who doesn't like brownies demolished these.
