I love brownies. For years we couldn’t visit my mom without her having fresh baked brownies and chocolate chip cookies waiting for us. I also love giving food as gifts. For many years I made up gift mixes to give as Christmas gifts to those I served alongside of at church. Maybe I should start doing that again… I love moist, chewy, sometimes gooey brownies and that is exactly what you get from this Super Moist Brownie Mix. If you want them a little gooier, take them out of the oven just a few minutes earlier than suggested, not that I have ever done that.
This recipe makes one batch of brownie mix but it can be easily multiplied to make several gift mixes at one time. I will warn you, there was one item I needed to make it easier to prepare this recipe, a larger steel mesh strainer. The strainers I have are both small and heart shaped, not adequate for this job, especially if you are multiplying your batch size. The three pack I linked to above will meet your kitchen needs just fine.
This mix fits perfectly in a pint sized mason jar.

Preheat oven to 350°.
Spray an 8x8" or 9x9" baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Take the eggs out of the refrigerator so they can come up to room temperature.
Melt the butter and allow it to cool a bit.
In a medium bowl beat together the 2 eggs and the vanilla.
Pour the brownie mix into the butter mixture. Stir until combined.
Pour the butter into the brownie mix. Stir until just incorporated.
