Trader Joe's Brownie Truffle Baking Mix

If you were stocking a pantry of TJ’s essentials, you’d be remiss not to include a box of Trader Joe's Brownie Truffle Baking Mix. A mainstay on our grocery shelves for more than 25 years, it provides the ultimate in made-from-scratch flavor without the made-from-scratch effort—in fact, it’s repeatedly named “Best Brownie Mix” by home cooks and baking pros alike. The inclusion of Dutch cocoa in the Mix lends rich, chocolatey flavor and helps create the signature, fudgy Brownie base, to which plenty of chocolate chips are added; when baked, the chocolate chips offer surprise bursts of even more melty-chocolatey goodness throughout. 

All that stands between you and a fresh batch of brownies is a stick of butter, two eggs, and about 25 minutes in the oven. You’ll be rewarded with brownies that are moist and fudgy in the middle, with delightfully chewy edges. If experimenting in the kitchen is your idea of an adventure, this Mix provides an excellent foundation for recipe riffing—try adding handfuls of chopped walnuts and dried cherries, or a drizzle of tahini or caramel sauce (or both!) to the batter before baking.
