"The secret is out!"

"How I did not know about this earlier is beyond me, but now I do. I’ll never bother again with brownies from scratch!!!!" declared one enthusiastic mum in the group.

She then shared a photo of the "best brownies [she's] ever made," explaining that she "added half a block of Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate for an even richer flavour."

The packet mix, which already contains chocolate buttons, requires only two extra ingredients — eggs and melted butter, meaning it takes just minutes to whip up.

People rushed to the comments to agree with the mum, saying, "I love these too! They come out perfect every time!!" and "They never fail!"

"Nooo the secret is out!" another joked. "This is a MUST try," insisted a different group member.

"Legitimately, these are the best!" someone else supported. "I make them in the air fryer, and they come out so good."

"My 12yo makes these, so easy and good!" one parent added.

Others shared some of their favourite additions, such as Ferrero Rocher, Biscoff, peanut butter, Scotch Finger biscuits, macadamias, Oreos, and raspberries.

On the healthier side, one woman said she sneaks in zucchini and sometimes a can of black beans into the mix.

"No one can taste it, and it fills them out," she wrote.

"You will want to eat the whole thing"

Over on TikTok, the praise kept piling up.

Home bakers shared their results, like mum Tash, who also said they're great for school lunches. "For under three bucks and two ingredients, they're such a good option," she raved.

Mum Crystal Ross also agreed they're great as treats for lunch boxes as "sometimes it's just easier to use something out of a box!" 

Then content creator Omaima shared her twist on the classic recipe, adding chopped walnuts and diced strawberries.

"OMFG. Soooo good," she said after tasting them.

That Nifty Girl said they were "so quick and easy" to make and came out "fudgy and moist."

Finally, Jen Rothwell warned people: "You will want to eat the whole thing." 

Guess it's time to head to ALDI and test them out for ourselves!
