Answer 6

Buy a box of brownie mix, in the cake mix aisle. Get the ones with walnuts in them they taste much better.
Mix according to package instructions.
Spray pan with cooking spray so the brownies dont' stick.
Pour brownie batter in a square pan (box will indicate pan size).
Cook according to package directions.
Cool slightly and serve (I like eating brownies warm sooo much better than when they've fully cooled).

Answer 7

i'm a chef and all i have to say about brownies is you might as well just go buy a box of them and follow the directions, brownies from scratch are a lot of work and turn out the same as the box of mix
