In a large bowl, mix together brownies mix, oil, water, and eggs.

Pour half of the batter in a greased 8x8 pan. Save the other half of the batter for the second batch

Bake at 325 ° F | 162 ° C for 20-30 minutes. Let cool on wire racks. Pro Tip: use a toothpick to check to see if your brownies are fully cooked. Every few minutes past the original time of 20 minutes.

Let brownies rest for 5-10 minutes.

Cut brownies in two or three rows. We choose to cut them in Christmas tree shapes during the holidays.

When brownies cool completely, decorate with powdered sugar, or icing, or sprinkles.

Plate and enjoy!
