Ingredients

  • 1 box Devil's Food cake mix
  • 1/3 cup Butter Unsalted, Melted
  • 1/3 cup Milk Whole
  • 1 Egg Large
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips Semisweet
  • 1/3 cup Pretzel sticks Roughly broken, Optional

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup Chocolate chips Semisweet
  • 1 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add cake mix powder, butter, milk, egg and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick. 
  • Stir in chocolate chips. 
  • Spread batter in a greased/floured square pan (Dimensions: 8x2). 
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until edges are firm. Let it cool down completely. 
  • While that is cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache by mixing together chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 30 second increments, mixing after each cycle until smooth and creamy. 
  • Pour ganache on top of the brownies and chill in fridge for 3 hours or until ganache sets. 
  • Toss some pretzels, if you like. 
  • Cut slices and enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Only add pretzels prior to serving or else they will loose their crunch and get soggy.
