Have you had a busy week? Weekend? I sure have. Clara started school last week (Yay!) and I worked another weekend, so it feels like things have been nonstop for awhile. This is good though, I do busy much better than bored.
I didn’t have a lot of time to bake Jesse’s weekly work treats, but threw together a quick doctor job on a boxed brownie mix. Making cheater brownies is fun, almost limitless in possibilities and easy. The last part being the most important right now.
Lemon Frosted Black Raspberry Brownies Printer VersionThese shortcut brownies remind me of the lemon chocolates I sneak out of Valentine’s Day chocolate boxes.
3 tablespoons Smucker’s Simply Fruit Seedless Black Raspberry Spreadable Fruit
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 package Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix
1 tub lemon frosting
Zest of 1/2 a lemon
Dark colored berries for garnish, optional
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil and grease the foil.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together spreadable fruit, water, oil, and egg. Add the brownie mix and stir until just combined. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until done. Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack.
3. Mix lemon frosting and lemon zest together. Spread over cool brownies. Freeze brownies for 1 hour for easier cutting. Cut into strips and strips into rectangles. Garnish individual brownies with berries if desired.

Love your brownie mix makeover. If I have to use the box, that's usually the brand I turn to too.
Laura, you take a simple mix and turn it into an inncredible brownie. You're ideas & photo's are amazing.

Love these brownies, great pic!
Great recipe. I love the combo of lemon and raspberries.
These look delicious! I think I'm going to switch out the blackberries and use strawberries instead...
Hopefully my little switch will work out!
Love these brownies. If you start with a quality mix like you did, you can't go wrong! Yum.

Cheater, cheater, brownie-eater. I love cheating with mixes--I prefer it over from scratch. These sound fabuloso!
You make everything look gourmet! You picked a good brownie mix too!
Hope you had a good Labor Day Laura!
The name alone got me! And then your gorgeous photo...I'm in need of some chocolate now. I love the combination of berries and chocolate, and I love how easy it is to adapt a basic brownie recipe. You found a winner here!
wow, so great recipe!
Looks sinfully delicious. Love the lemon frosting and the use of blackberries in brownies.
I do busy a lot better than bored too! These look delish and my coworker who is pregnant and loves lemons should LOVE these when I make them. Thanks for posting!
I made these and wrote about them here. It took about a day for the berry flavor to shine through. I really liked the lemon frosting, and the lemon zest in the frosting. Thank you so much for the recipe. They were a big hit with my friends.
these look delicious, definitely gonna try and make them soon!
