Instructions:
1. Prep: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box. Line the cups of your muffin tins with cupcake liners. If not using liners, generously grease and flour each cup.
2. Mix: In a large bowl, prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions for both boxes, combining them into one batch.
3. Customize: Gently fold your chosen add-ins into the batter until evenly distributed.
4. Portion: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ to ¾ full. Avoid overfilling to prevent spills.
5. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake. Start checking 5 minutes earlier than the minimum time listed on the box. They are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). The smaller portions often bake faster than a full pan.
6. Cool & Set: Let the brownies cool in the tins for 10-15 minutes. This allows them to firm up. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is essential for achieving the perfect chewy texture.
