Ingredients
  

1 box of chocolate cake mix

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup water

2 large eggs

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and melted butter. Stir in the water and mix until well blended.

      Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

        Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

          Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

              Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before cutting them into squares.
