Uncle Bob's Extra Fudgy Brownie Mix
Build your brownies as cookies, or go uptown and make a dessert.
Brownies are so good, especially if they are made with really good chocolate. Most of us are chocoholics and can eat them every day.
But sometimes, we deserve a brownie dessert. Building a brownie dessert can be as simple as pouring hot fudge sauce over our brownies.
Or making banana split brownies. Or making easy cheesecake brownies. (The recipe follows.)
Regular brownies are good, but sometimes, we need a brownie dessert.
What makes them so much better? They have more cocoa than store-bought, and the cocoa is better.
- What makes the cocoa better? It's the cocoa butter. We've been testing cocoa for 20 years. We've never found a good cocoa that doesn't have at least 16% cocoa butter. This has 22 to 24% cocoa butter.
- What does the store have? The most popular brands have 8 to 10%.
- Why don't they use the good stuff? It's too expensive. Grocery stores compete on cost.
- How can you compete? We don't have the overhead that a grocery store has. Grocery stores have to locate where the people are. We're located in a bunch of fields. It costs less to do business in the country.

If these are not the most chocolatey, fudgiest, best-tasting brownies, we'll give you your money back. These are better than store brownies. Stores can't afford brownies this good.
They're made with really good Ramstadt Breda cocoa. A grocery store can't afford to sell gourmet brownie mixes. The ingredients are too expensive.
See what a difference better ingredients make.
"They . . were a hundred times better . . . ." Linda W"Amazing!! These brownies are so amazing they put store-bought to shame. I would recommend 100%."
"Yummy! The brownies are excellent! Bye, bye grocery store brownie mixes....."
"Hands down, absolutely deliciously fudgy! The hunt is over, . . .."
"Bye-bye, grocery store brownie mix."
"Would you believe these are 100 times better? These are serious gourmet brownies.
There's no comparison. Really great cocoa makes that much difference. Give them a try, and if they are not that much better, we'll give you your money back.
How to Make a Cheesecake Brownie Dessert
Make a simple cream cheese batter and swirl it into your brownie batter before baking. It's that simple. You should be doing this often.
This is a scrumptious marriage of cheesecake and brownie. This is an easy recipe because you start with a mix, and the cheesecake filling is simple.
1 brownie mix
2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Dust with flour or line with parchment paper.
- Mix the brownie batter according to mix instructions. Set aside.
- For the cream cheese filling, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat in. Add the egg yolks and beat until smooth. Set aside.
- Pour half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the cream cheese filling onto the batter in pools. Pour the rest of the chocolate batter over the cream cheese pools. Spread smooth. Spoon the remaining cream cheese filling in pools over the top of the brownie batter.
- Hold a table knife or spatula vertically and cut through the batters just until the two batters are swirled together. Do not over mix.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the brownies test done by sticking a toothpick or knife into the center of the pan. The brownies will be done when moist crumbs cling to the toothpick or knife. Let the brownies cool completely before removing them from the pan.
