The video for the Easiest Brownies Ever Made had me thinking about other ideas of what to include to make them even better.
Which led to me making two different versions, here are some other recommendation I have tried or seen to make it that extra bit special!
If you haven't already check out the video!
Alright starting with some of the obvious add-ins people love to do is, adding more CHOCOLATE, this will make it gooier as well as the stronger flavour coming through and a richer one. Adding the different types of chocolate which would be dark and milk, for example, work well because it wouldn't be too rich then. Especially cutting them from a block into chunk will help reach that melting point within the brownie creating more flavour.
I love M&Ms so if I can add them in anyway possible i will! Adding the crunchie, caramel, normal, peanut or mini will work great paired with the brownies. The caramel only had one issue that when the brownie wasn't warm the caramel became very hard, the solution was just to heat it up again. The colours stay there and look great when cutting into the brownie too!
If you love coffee ass much as I do then please try this out it will taste amazing! Adding in two teaspoons or if you like it string then add one or more when mixing in all the ingredients together. It doesn't over power the chocolate at all. If you still want a more intense taste then I have heard substituting the water in the recipe with coffee with create a mocha flavour.
Almonds is another great addition to brownies as some view this as a healthier option among them. Adding as many as you want, just adding them either in the middle or on top of the brownies! They give great flavour as well as a crunchy texture too. As the brownies were boxed brownies, it gives them a good boost which is what they need.
One that I have read about and yet to try is Greek Yoghurt, this is among the healthier options which gives the same moisture within the brownies. It has less calories than butter or oil does so you would swap these two, of course you have to try first to see if it would be a good match for yourself. This is a protein boost within the brownies. I hope you will try some of these options and let me know how they go! I will do an updated version with using some of these ideas with another video, and if you have tried some of these or have other ways please tell me.
Take care x
