I am absolutely in love with this simple small batch dessert. It is the go-to fix for when you are craving something sweet, but aren’t looking to make a mess in the kitchen. Rich, fudgy, and comforting in minutes. You just cannot beat it. Every brownie lover’s’ dream. Here is what you will need to get started:
- Brownie Mix: You’ve got two ingredients in this recipe, and this is the one that matters most. Pick a brownie mix you know you love. And since the recipe won’t use the entire mix, keep the leftover stored in a quality airtight container (affiliate) for future brownie fixes.
- Water: Whisking water into the brownie mix will give you that beautiful glossy batter. You can also opt to use milk in place of the water if you desire, but we find that it doesn’t make too much of a difference with this recipe.
