The trick to better brownies lies in one simple addition: cook and serve pudding. Add it directly to a box of chocolate cake mix for a fudgy, flavor-rich version of this dessert.
Bowl of brownie batter
To start, prepare your pudding mix as per the packet instructions. Remove the mixture from the heat once it starts bubbling and pour into a bowl containing the chocolate cake mix.
Pack of Jello-o instant chocolate pudding mix
If you're using instant pudding mix, simply make it as directed and fold in the dry chocolate cake mix until you have an evenly blended batter.
