Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a 7x11 dish in parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl add boxed brownie mix, melted butter and beaten eggs. Stir until incorporated with a spatula; it will be thick batter.
Fold in any chocolate chips, if desired.
Add dough to prepared dish and spread out evenly with a spatula (note: the batter is very thick; you can add another piece of parchment paper on top to help to spread it).
Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or even a toothpick comes out of the center with moist crumbs.
Allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack, then remove and slice with a sharp knife.

Notes

The batter will plump and spread so if it is not perfect in the dish before baking, don’t worry
You can use an 8x8 or 9x9 pan, they will just be thicker. Baking time may be a little longer.

Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
Insert a toothpick in the center—if it comes out with moist crumbs, they’re ready.
Allow brownies to cool in the pan before slicing to help them set properly.
Allow your eggs to come to room temperature, this helps with even mixing and a better texture.
