    Tips and Tricks

    You can add sprinkles on your cake mix lemon brownies for a rainbow of flavors and colors!

    Additionally, add some white chocolate chips for a fun twist in taste and to add dimensions to your flavors!

    You can also use lemon extract for a little more flavor and a bit of a punch.

    Pay attention! Make sure that you do not overcook your lemon brownies.

    Don’t have a cake tester baking stick? No worries! You can use a toothpick for testing how well-baked your lemon brownies are in case you don’t have a tester baking stick on hand.

      I have not heard of Lemon Brownies before but they sure look moist and delicious! I didn’t know you could make them this way using a box mix, usually just follow the cake mix recipe with a small ingredient addition but never taken out an ingredient. Hmmm. They really look yummy – hope the recipients love them. I also remember my mom baking on Saturdays when we were growing – It is one of my favorites!!
