Description

Trader Joe's Brownie Truffle Baking Mix makes rich, fudgy brownies built on Dutch-process cocoa and semisweet chocolate chips. Dutch-process cocoa — cocoa processed with alkali — has a smoother, less acidic flavor than natural cocoa, giving these brownies a deep, dark chocolate character that earns the "truffle" name. The mix contains sugar, semisweet chocolate chips (made with real cocoa butter), unbleached enriched flour, and a clean leavening system.

Just add 2 large eggs and 1 stick of melted butter, spread into an 8×8 pan, and bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes. The result is about 16 brownies at 180 calories per prepared piece. A bonus recipe on the box converts the mix into chewy chocolate chip cookies: use 1 egg and 1 stick of butter, drop by rounded tablespoons, and bake at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes — yields 20 to 24 cookies.

One note: this mix contains soy and wheat, and may contain milk and egg due to shared equipment or facility. Do not eat raw baking mix or batter.

HIOOL GOODS sources this directly from Trader Joe's U.S. stores, packs it carefully, and ships it to your door across the U.S. and Canada.

Preparation Instructions (Brownies)

You will need: 1 Full Package of Mix, 2 Large Eggs, 1 Stick of Butter (4 oz).

Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease bottom and halfway up sides of a standard 8×8×2 inch pan with butter or cooking spray.

Mix: Melt butter (1 minute in microwave or use a small saucepan). Melted butter should be creamy looking. Whisk in eggs until blended. Add brownie mix and stir until moistened.

Pan: Spread batter in pan, filling corners and leveling top.

Oven: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before removing from pan. Yields about 16 servings.

Baking Tip: All ovens bake differently. Always double check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer before baking. Check brownie at the minimum baking time by inserting a toothpick in several locations. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownie is finished. If not, bake for an additional 5 minutes.

High Altitude Instructions: Add 1 tablespoon flour and 1 tablespoon water to the ingredients above.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a "truffle" brownie mix?

The use of Dutch-process cocoa (cocoa processed with alkali) gives these brownies a smoother, deeper, less acidic chocolate flavor — closer to the rich, dark character of a chocolate truffle than a standard brownie mix.

What is Dutch-process cocoa?

Dutch-process cocoa is cocoa that has been treated with an alkalizing agent to neutralize its natural acidity. The result is a darker color and a smoother, more mellow chocolate flavor compared to natural cocoa.

What do I need to add to the mix?

Can I make cookies with this mix?

Yes. The box includes a bonus recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies using 1 egg and 1 stick of butter, baked at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes. Yields 20 to 24 cookies.

Yes. It contains wheat flour and wheat starch. Not suitable for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
