  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 8- or 9-inch square pan with cooking spray (without flour).
  • 2
    In medium bowl, stir brownie mix, 1/4 cup butter and the eggs until well blended (batter will be thick). Spread batter in pan.
  • 3
    Bake 8-inch pan 28 to 31 minutes, 9-inch pan 26 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour.

  • 5
    In small resealable freezer plastic bag, place chocolate chips; seal bag. Microwave on High 30 to 60 seconds, kneading bag every 15 seconds, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Cut tiny corner off bag; squeeze bag to drizzle chocolate over brownies. Let stand 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

  • Whoopie pies originated in New England as mound-shaped cakes filled with a marshmallow-cream filling.
  • An offset, thin metal spatula can be a cook’s best friend. Use it in this recipe to spread brownie batter evenly in pan and to spread the topping over the baked brownies.
  • Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
