Not only are these brownies delicious, but each layer of these decadent bars uses a pre-packaged ingredient. Yes, pre-packaged, as in "out-of-the-box". And trust me. The lucky people you serve these brownies to will not believe you. They taste gourmet but are insanely easy to make.1. Use any brownie mix you have in your cabinet that can be baked in a 13x9-inch pan. Yes, any. Chocolate chunk, the ones with the syrup pouches, plain fudge, dark chocolate, anything. Bake as directed on the box for the 13x9-inch pan.
2. After letting the bars cool for about 10 minutes, spread your favorite preserve, jam, or jelly on top. I like to use seedless strawberry jam, but raspberry or blackberry would taste just as wonderful. I eyeball just enough jam to cover the brownies with a thin layer.
3. After letting the bars cool completely, mix together some white chocolate chips and a full container of pre-packaged frosting. I like using the creamy vanilla frosting, but you could easily make these double chocolate brownies by using chocolate frosting too.
That's it. And the best part, you can pretty much substitute any of the ingredients to fit your personal tastes or just what you happen to have in your pantry. Try using the strawberry jam and chocolate frosting with chocolate chips to make a "chocolate-covered strawberry" bar. Try combining orange marmalade and chocolate frosting. If you're a blueberry fan, some blueberry preserves and white frosting would taste wonderful as well. Regardless of which combination of ingredients you choose, you can put together an easy, elegant, and down-right delicious dessert using pre-packaged ingredients you probably already have in your cabinet. And your guests don't have to know our little secret...
