Move over Betty Crocker, here comes a simple do it yourself, make at home Super Fudge Brownie mix that only requires water before it hits the oven and bakes into mouth-watering scrumptious Thick Chewy Fudge Brownies!
These thick super fudge brownies are a favorite around here- but with our youngest heading back to college shortly, we wanted to come up with a recipe that he could use away from home, where his “kitchen” is extremely limited.
This make-ahead MYO Super Fudge Brownie mix only requires the addition of 1 simple ingredient before it heads to the oven… Water!
