Trader Joe's Tuesday: Chocolate Chip Brownie Mix
Amy Faries • Mar 10, 2020
These rich and fudgy brownies are perfect for any chocolate lover who doesn't want something way too sweet.
Last week of TJ Tuesday
A little tip for pulling out perfect brownies that don't stick to your baking dish every time. Spray your dish with canola oil then line with parchment paper. When your brownies are cooled pull up on the parchment paper and place them on the counter. From here you can cut perfect slices without having to worry about them sticking to the sides of your dish.
Chocolate Chip Brownies
This week I decided to make the last mix that I had in my pantry from TJ's which was their chocolate chip brownie mix. Not only is this mix delicious but it is 100% gluten free! It is made using brown rice flour so anyone with a peanut allergy is still welcome to partake and not feel left out. I decided to bump this flavor to the next level by adding 1 TBS of pure bourbon vanilla extract (which can also be found at Trader Joe's). I added some milk chocolate chips to the top of these brownies purely for aesthetic reasons, because who doesn't love to see some ooey gooey chocolate on top of their brownies? Am I right?
Lets get talking about the taste of these brownies... They are super rich and fudgy and I feel like the added vanilla extract really brought all the flavors from the chocolate to the surface. The brownies themselves are not too crazy sweet so they are perfect for that dark chocolate lover in your life. I would however recommend a tall glass of ice cold milk to wash these down with because they really are THAT rich. The texture is super soft and chewy and what you think of when you picture the perfect brownie. It has the traditional crinkly brownie top and a very fudgy center.
