Cool the brownies in the upright pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Cut them into large squares.
Delicious Brownies
1 Double Fudge Brownie Mix
6 oz Nestles chocolate chips
4 oz Almonds; sliced
In a 9x13 pan, sprinkle the chocolate chips and nuts over the prepared Brownie Mix and cook according to package directions. Be careful not to overcook; if anything, "undercook" and then let them cool for at least an hour before you cut them in 2" squares (or 3" to be really impressive). And if anyone asks you where you got the recipe, just smile and say it's a secret.
