Pamela's Chocolate Brownie Mix


This wheat-free and gluten-free mix comes in a 16-ounce pouch and directions for three ways to make the brownies: original oil, butter (1/2 cup), and Fudgiest Brownie style, which eliminates the egg.


I opted for the original, which called for a large egg, 1/2 cup oil and 1/4 cup water. On mixing, the batter became almost breadlike, forming a single ball instead of a thick liquid like commercial brownie mixed I've used. I used a 9x9 pan.


As for the results, the "Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover" rules applies here; while this had some of the nicest packaging I've seen on organic products, the product didn't live up to the packaging. The flavor was flat and the texture was chalky. While you may get better results with the other recipes, I'm not inclined to purchase this again to find out when I can make better homemade brownies.
