Am I the only one who picks boxed brownie mix over from-scratch every time?
I used a fancy $8 Ghirardelli mix for a party last Saturday instead of making them from scratch, and nobody complained or even noticed the difference. Why would I spend 20 extra minutes measuring cocoa powder and butter when the box stuff tastes just as good?

Oh man, I gotta totally disagree here! Once you nail a good from-scratch brownie recipe with real melted chocolate and a tiny bit of espresso powder, the box stuff just tastes kind of fake and waxy to me. The texture is way fudgier and the flavor is so much deeper, it's really not even close!

Wait is nobody gonna mention how the box mix gets that perfect crackly top crust every single time? I've tried everything with scratch recipes and they always come out looking more like a flat dense chocolate bar.
