Why would we want to do that

Yes. Substitute the water it calls for with coffee (I just use what’s left in the pot from that morning) or red wine. Deepens the chocolate flavor.

I second the coconut oil suggestion. Gives it the best texture ever.

Sometimes I swirl raspberry jam into the top while cooking, before they are fully baked.

Sometimes I sprinkle chocolate chips or butterscotch chips on top of the batter before baking.

Add 1 T instant espresso (same stuff in your dalgona coffee)

You might not want to know this but one cup of mix plus one egg plus a splash of vanilla extract makes two chocolate waffles - in about 5 minutes. These are particularly good with a few strawberries and vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Wow- way not to take a joke.

But just because it is DCUM, you must have meant *fewer* of them.

I love this style! My kids don’t like them that way but adults really love the nuanced umami brownie.

The dark chocolate already has chips in the bag. I think dark is our fav.
