Ingredients

15.25 ounce box devils food cake mix
7 Tablespoons salted butter , melted
2 large eggs
1 cup chocolate chips , more for top if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9" or 8x12" pan with parchment paper and set aside. For a thinner brownie you can use a 9x13" pan.
In a large bowl whisk together the 2 eggs. Then pour the cake mix and butter on top. Add a dash of vanilla if desired. Stir together slightly. Then add in the chocolate chips and mix just until combined.
Scoop the dough into the prepared pan. The dough will be thick, so press down evenly with a piece of parchment paper, a spatula or the palm of your hand. Top with additional chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes clean. You don’t want them to brown.
Allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then remove and slice into 12 squares.
