Brownie mixes are the star of the box mix section. As an aside, I had no idea people had such strong feelings about mixes! Turns out, a lot of people really love or really hate them. 
There are some great cakes that begin with a box cake mix, but mix brownies are one thing that scratch recipes always try to copy. Even though the flavor can be a little lacking, box mix brownies have that amazing chewy/fudgy texture and perfect, shiny brownie crust that make them so incredible.
This Better Than Box Mix Brownie recipe is incredibly easy. I have made a lot of brownies! And, while I love recipes like my Frosted Brownie recipe and Chocolate Mousse Brownie recipe this one is a fantastic basic brownie recipe. 
These brownies are just as easy to make as box mix brownies, and they have the same chewy/fudgy texture and shiny crust. But they have the yummy chocolate flavor that so many mixes are missing.
So, the next time a brownie craving strikes, grab a bowl and whip up a batch of these brownies!
