Variation

Superfast Brownies: When short on time, make these Rock 'n' Roll Brownies with your favorite basic package brand. Prepare the mix as the box directs, then stir 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup of small marshmallows, and ½ cup nuts into the batter. To keep the fat and calorie count lower, substitute applesauce for the oil (follow the directions on the box). Then bake according to the package directions.
