How to make Brownie Brittle Using Brownie Mix! This is such a delicious spin on making brownies and you can use your go-to brownie mix to make it.
Do you LOVE brownie brittle as much as we do?! Because this is a staple in our home now. I used to buy brownie brittle all the time and usually the ingredients aren’t that healthy. I love using a healthier brownie mix to make these. Or you can also use a more traditional one too. Just make sure quantities are the same as listed below so your brittle is pure perfection.
My entire family housed this recipe in a couple of days. I left out a Tupperware on the container and every time we walked by, a piece was taken out. It’s phenomenal dipped in milk or some peanut butter. And it’s delicious on it’s own too. If you love desserts frozen like I do, I recommend freezing it because this brownie brittle frozen is too die for!
And the best part of this recipe? It is a total baking hack using your go-to brownie mix. It is so easy to make this and you will have delicious brownie brittle in under 30 minutes.
Tip: add in any toppings or mix-in’s you want like chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut flakes or sprinkles!
What ingredients are in this brownie brittle:
- Brownie mix of choice – for the quantities I use with this – you need an 18 ounce brownie mix. If the brownie mix is less or more, the other ingredients may vary
- Water – filtered or tap water
- Oil – anything in liquid form so melted coconut oil, olive oil or even melted butter can work here
- Egg – I haven’t tested flax egg but I’d think it would work well!
How to make brownie brittle using boxed brownie mix:
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray and set aside
-
Whisk together the water, oil and egg
-
Then add in brownie mix and fold in chocolate chips if desired or any other mix-in’s
-
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet
-
Use an offset spatula to spread batter into a thin layer
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes and cool completely before breaking apart with a knife or cutting with a pizza cutter
Best tips for success making brownie brittle:
- Make sure the brownie mix you are using is 18 ounces! Or as close to it as possible. That is the size of the mix I used and the consistency turned out great with the egg, oil and water.
- Don’t worry abut the instructions on the back of the brownie mix – use the quantities I list below
- Spread the brownie batter across a large baking sheet. It shouldn’t be thick or you will get more of a cakey brownie rather than brittle
- Feel free to add in any desired mix-in’s like chocolate chips, coconut flakes, walnuts or anything! Sprinkles would be cute too
- This tastes SO good frozen too!! I keep a bag in my freezer and it’s amazing to snack on cold and dip in some milk
