Duncan Hines Oven-Ready Homestyle Brownies - No prep and no clean up! In my home we do the dishes, so what makes this "homestyle"? This product has sunk to a new low. You don't even need to provide the pan. Seriously folks, pull out the mix if you have to, add the oil and eggs, and stir. The exercise will do you good and you might enjoy the process of baking. If you want the smell of brownies in the oven then put some vanilla over a heat source. Same effect, fewer chemicals.

I'll spare you my diatribe of how lazy I think Americans have become, and just say: Amen!
I'm sure they taste just awful!
I totally agree!!!
Yup. Even I will at least mix in some eggs and oil.
Hi, I`m from Germany. Everything that already exists in America comes to this country eventually. Just like these so called "homemade whatevers". I love to bake (from scratch)and the kids, too - this stuff is no fun!
Here`s a simple recipe for those who love real homemade stuff that tastes great:
you only need four ingredients.
eggs, butter, sugar and flour (baking powder if you want to feel on the safe side)
Important: all ingredients must have the same (room)temperature.
You need four eggs -weigh them, they should weigh 230 grams (8 ounces)
then measure the other ingredients, you`ll need 230 gr of each of them.
Put the butter into a mixing bowl add the sugar and stir well for 3-4 mins. with a whisk,
add one egg stir until it has combined with the mixture. Do the same with the other eggs. Add a pinch of salt to make it a little spicier.
Now add the sieved flour to the creamy mixture. Slowly and carefully (like eggwhite)- with a wooden spoon.
As said earlier you can add a teaspoon of baking powder but you don`t have to.
Use a rectangular baking-tin(buttered) put a strip of baking paper at the bottom of the form. Fill dough into tin, sprinkle some chopped almonds on top. That`s it.
Bake for 45 mins at 180 degrees Celsius (which should be 355 degrees Fahrenheit). After the cake is golden brown take it out of the oven, let it sit for about 5 mins. Remove it from the tin and let it cool on a baking rack.
