1 jar Death by Brownies Mix
5 eggs (or up to 8, depending on how adventurous you are)
2 cups butter [454 g]
1 tbsp vanilla extract

This mix will make 2 scrumptious batches of brownies. Preheat oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle level. Prepare cake pan and set aside.

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and turn off heat. Combine butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of water, stirring occasionally until melted.

Whisk eggs in a large bowl and whisk in vanilla. Stir in chocolate and butter mixture, then fold in remainder of jar mix.

Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 1 hour, until top has formed a shiny crust and batter is moderately firm. Cool in pan on a rack. Wrap pan in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature or refrigerated until the next day.

Makes about 50 brownies.
