Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box and prepare your baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, melted butter, water, and stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Carefully incorporate the crushed OREO cookies, potato chips, mini pretzel twists, and chopped peanut butter cups into the batter.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly into the corners and smoothing the top.
Baking
- Bake the brownies according to the box instructions, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, mix the batter thoroughly to prevent lumps, and do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy. Feel free to customize the mix-ins based on personal preferences.
