Notes
This recipe post tests Betty Crocker's Salted Caramel Brownie mix and Duncan Hines Devil's Food Chocolate Cake mix. Both batches came out great! Duncan Hines also makes a Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix and Dark Chocolate brownie mix that are perfect for this recipe!
Here with the differences:
- Betty Crocker's brownie mix was more of a sticky batter and Duncan Hines was a thicker fudgy dough. Duncan Hines was easier to work with.
- The Betty Crocker batch spread much farther on the baking sheet when it was in the oven than Duncan Hines, but both came out soft and chewy.
