Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In an ungreased 8-inch square baking pan, combine the quick mix, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa, chopped nuts, milk, and vanilla.
  3. Blend the mixture well until smooth and combined.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup of cocoa.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter in the pan.
  6. Gently pour the boiling water over the top of the mixture. Do not stir.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges separate slightly from the sides of the pan and the center is set.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before serving to allow the fudge sauce to settle.

Note

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for the best experience.

Variation: For a marshmallow version, omit the nuts and stir 1 cup of miniature marshmallows into the batter before adding the brown sugar topping.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds to restore the warm, fudgy texture.

Tip: Use a metal baking pan for best heat conduction. If using glass, reduce oven temperature by 25ðF.
