Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s get the brownie component going. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking pan by lining it with parchment paper – this helps with easy removal later. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, eggs, and oil according to the instructions on the box. Once you have a smooth batter, pour it into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Once baked, let the brownies cool completely on a cooling rack. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
