Black Forest Brownies
These ridiculously easy Black Forest Brownies start with a boxed mix and cherry pie filling for rich, fudgy flavor with almost no effort. Topped with melty chocolate chips and best served warm with vanilla ice cream, they’re the ultimate lazy summer dessert.
Servings: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 (18-oz) box brownie mix
- 1 cup cherry pie filling I use the rest of the can for serving the brownies
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup oil
- ½ - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 7x11 OR 9x9 inch baking dish (I usually use a 7x11 Pyrex glass pan).
- In a mixing bowl, stir together dry brownie mix, cherry pie filling, eggs and oil until a lump-free batter forms.1 (18-oz) box brownie mix, 1 cup cherry pie filling, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup oil
- Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes, depending on your preferred brownie-doneness.
- Set brownie pan on a wire rack, immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips (I usually do a generous ½ cup.) Once melted, spread with a spatula. Allow brownies to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour.½ - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Serve brownies with vanilla ice cream and remaining pie filling, if you like.
Notes
- These brownies are extremely soft and fudgy—best served on a plate with a fork!
- Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
