There's nothing like freshly baked brownies. We love baking them from scratch, but we also love the ease and convenience of brownie mixes. With so many products on the market, we wanted to know which one is best. Our lineup included nine nationally available brands-including a reader favorite from Trader Joe's.

Ghiradelli is a solid for choice for me with three necessary enhancements: substitute brewed (and cooled) coffee for the water, add a splash of vanilla, and sprinkle walnut pieces on top (NOT mixed into the batter which steams the nuts). Good report on these mixes -- thank you.

Costco sells one variation of Ghirardelli brownie mix and it is my go-to brownie mix. They are fudgy, with a good chocolate flavor. Me being me, I add some espresso powder to the mix and, because I love the combo of chocolate and orange, I add a bit of orange zest. I'll usually bake a 9x13 pan, take a few big squares for myself, and take the rest to work for my coworkers, because I WILL eat all of them.

I love walnuts in my brownies. I usually mix them in the batter but appreciate the one viewer’s comment where they place the walnuts on top of the batter before baking. I love espresso powder (or coffee replacing the water, if called for) which enhances the chocolate flavor.

when they test anything, they pass over many brands... I suppose cost and tester time is a big factor... but one of their food processor tests pitted their "favorite" 13 cup food processor they use in their kitchens, to a 9 cup Kitchenaid doing the same processes... and... SURPRISE!!... THE FAVORITE won again... no bias here... 🙄

@@t.c.2776 Typically, when ATK conducts equipment reviews, they will start with national best-sellers and may add recently introduced or innovative models that have caught their eyes to the mix. For brands with multiple models, they have more recently been asking the manufacturers which they'd like to see tested. This communication may have been as a result of models being redesigned or discontinued in the past resulting in wasted time for ATK. And ATK has since added a 13-cup Kitchen Aid to their food processor review, which was not available at the time of the original testing. It didn't fare as well as it's 9-cup sibling and was recommended with reservations - despite ATK's "bias" the 9-cup was recommended. Declaring one model a "winner" does not make the rest "losers".

I have always loved the Trader Joe’s brownie mix. It’s my favorite. A friend talked me into trying the Costco six pack of the Ghirardelli triple mix. I thought it was sweeter & less chocolatey than the Trader Joe’s. In addition, it called for oil instead of butter (and I prefer butter). So when making the remaining bags, I added cocoa powder to make it less sweet, and used butter instead of the oil. This made it more on par with the Trader Joe’s (in my opinion). After this review , I am curious to try the King Arthur mix for comparison!! 🎉

For me, it's Ghirardelli with modifications. I don't like them with chocolate chips, so I sift those out and eat them as a separate snack. Add 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 cup chopped and toasted walnuts and sprinkle a few finely chopped on top. For an extra special treat, I make some cheesecake and swirl it into the mix. Friends beg for these brownies.

If you have dry brownies, poke holes every inch and pour an ounce or so of Amaretto Disaronna evenly over the top. Does not take long to soak in, brownies become moist and do not have an overwhelming amaretto flavor. Definitely yummy!

I bought Ghirardelli based on this video and regret it. it is too dark. Baked Betty Crocker Walnut brownies at the same exact time and those are the ones we finished first. Everybody agrees and the Ghirardelli's for sure were not burnt. Betty Crocker brownies in my experience, the fudge and walnut varieties have a much better brownie texture than the Ghirardelli brownie impersonators. The Ghirardelli are like a really dark 70% chocolate cake and that is just not something that we are looking for. Thanks for the time but I wish you captured more of the classic American brownie in your review and keep that perspective in mind for your future content.

I don't use mixes, and I can't understand why others buy them, especially for brownies. Brownies are so easy to make, and the baking time is much longer than the mixing time, so are you really saving time? When you make them yourself, they're less expensive, have higher quality ingredients, and can be made exactly the way you like them. It's fine if people think that coffee enhances the chocolate flavor, but I would just add more chocolate. My tip for saving time during cleanup & making your baked goods exactly the way you like them: weigh your ingredients.

The issue with store brands is most American grocery chains are regional, so their store brands are not available to everyone which is something ATK aims for. Kroger has stores in what, 16 states? What about the other 2/3+ of the US? Another issue with store brands is it’s generally a mystery who makes them and a grocery chain could potentially change producers at any time without informing the public. So any endorsement from someone like ATK doesn't mean much if the product isn’t coming from the producer who was behind the product they tested. Typically, the only time you find out the producer of a store brand product is when it’s recalled.

LOL... who overcooked the Betty Crocker?... I just did a BC mix yesterday and it came out moist with a decent top crust and edges... now, I can't compare the flavor against any of the others, but it was "satisfactory" for the price... and there are those who like a firm (less moist) brownie... I'm one of them, so if it calls for 2 eggs, I use only 1 and maybe a touch less oil and cook it a few minutes more... as she said, "To each their own"... if you want more Cocoa, add some Cocoa Powder of your own... if you want chocolate chips, add your own... you want hard and chewy, leave out any egg and make sure you have strong teeth... LOL... cherries go with chocolate... dice up some cherries and mix them in... maybe dehydrated them a bit first... how about bacon bits?

Definitely felt like they overcooked the Betty Crocker’s because I’m positive I’ve had them MUCH more gooey than that. But I also like an undercooked brownie. With that said I still think Ghirardelli’s wins. Also I use the pampered chef brownie tray. I think it’s the only pampered chef item I own haha.

Or you know, they followed the directions on the box. Sure you can improve anything by going off box, but that's not what this is about

For betty crocker you must have backed it wrong I've made them a lot and the crust is like your winner and has a lot of chocolate flavor and isn't dry

I've done my own comparison, and Betty Crocker was the worst. Duncan Hines is really good, but now I have to order King Arthur as it sounded like the winner. I'll probably pick up G at the store while waiting on the mail.

Ghirardelli has the better options too, they should’ve put up the dark chocolate mix it’s so much more chocolatey 🤤 Their double chocolate mix with some Reese’s peanut butter chips added is also 🔥

I must have an extra sensitive palate lol. I can always taste the coffee, even if it’s a hint I find it unpleasant. I don’t like red velvet cake because I can taste the food coloring. And coconut is a whole other issue 😂

Im a sucker for the Pulsbruy milk chocolate ones. No they arent "great" brownies, but there is something about the flavor and chewiness I love. A little less intense than the good stuff.
