    Ghirardelli Brownie Mix Recipe Ingredients

    Ghirardelli Brownie Mix – This is the dry mix used to make the brownies. Look for this boxed brownie mix in the baking aisle of the grocery store. Ghirardelli makes several brownie varieties. We are using the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix.

    Egg – One egg is all that is needed for this recipe.

    Vegetable Oil – Vegetable oil is used as the fat for this recipe. You can substitute with canola oil.

    Water – Adds a little moisture to the mix.

    How to make Ghirardelli Brownies directions

    Step one: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray either an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. (You can also line with parchment paper.) Place water, egg, and oil to a medium bowl.

    Bowl of beaten egg and oil.

    Step two: Stir in Ghirardelli mix until combined. Stir just until combined being careful not to over mix.

    Step three: Pour brownie batter into prepared pan. Spread out into an even layer.

    Step four: Bake for 35-40 minutes.

    Tips for the best brownies

    • Line the baking dish with parchment paper to help easily remove the brownies from the dish once they have finished baking.
    • Don’t over mix the brownie batter. Stir all of the ingredients until just combined. Over mixing can cause them to become hard.
    • Make sure not to cook them too long. This can also make the brownies hard and not chewy.
    • Pan size makes a difference in the thickness of the brownies. If you prefer thicker brownies, bake them in a smaller pan, like an 8×8-inch. You will probably need to add some additional bake time since they will be thicker.
    • Have a large crowd? You can double the recipe, just be sure to bake in a 9×13-inch baking pan.

    How to store brownies

    Store: Let the brownies completely cool before storing them in an airtight container. You can leave them at room temperature. If you store them in the refrigerator they could become hard in texture.

    Freeze: You can freeze brownies by placing them in a freezer safe bag or container. They will last 3 months in the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature to thaw.

    Ghirardelli Brownie Mix Add-Ins

    Feel free to mix in other ingredients to bring your brownies to the next level. A few of our favorite mix-ins include:

    Candy – Try mixing in 1/2 cup of mini M&M candies or toffee bits.

    Nuts – Add a little crunch with different types of chopped nuts like chopped pecans or walnuts.

    Chocolate chips – Semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips all are delicious when added to the batter of these brownies.

    Extract: Try adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra warm flavor or even 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract.

    Brownie Mix FAQ’s

    Which Ghirardelli brownie mix is best?

    All of the mixes are delicious but the Dark Chocolate and Double Chocolate seem to be the most popular.

    Can you use milk instead of water for Ghirardelli brownie mix?

    Yes, you can substitute milk for a richer flavor.

    Can you use butter instead of oil?

    Yes, you can use butter. Use the same amount of butter that you would for oil.

    How to serve brownies

    Brownies are obviously delicious by themselves. We also love serving them warm in a bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup for an out of this world brownie sundae.

    You can also try topping with whipped cream or a chocolate buttercream frosting for even more rich chocolate flavor.
