Brownies

I bought a box of brownie mix almost a year ago and it's been sitting in my cabinet since then. Feeling a little bit of motivation, I decided to make it today.

 
 
This was my first time making brownies or doing any kind of baking at all. I used a Betty Crocker mix. To my surprise, the directions did not call for any milk. I always thought you needed milk when you baked. Oh, and man, I did not know baking required so much oil. The directions called for 2/3 of a cup of oil! Crazy stuff.

Anyway, I was somewhat disappointed with the result.  It tasted more like cake than brownies. I'm not sure what I did wrong. I believe I followed the directions correctly so maybe it's the mix? Not sure. Guess I'll ask around and see what happens next time!
