Easy Love Brownies

Want to impress your Valentine without actually doing a lot of work? Prove your culinary skills by using none of them with this recipe for Easy Love. We got this recipe from a chef who claims her delicious brownies came out of a box and all she did was add black walnuts. Either she was telling the truth and this recipe will thrill your Valentine, or she's lying and made us look like complete idiots.

A box of your favorite brownie mix
1/4-1/2 cup American Black Walnuts (the secret ingredient)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (the other secret ingredient)

Make the box per the instructions and add the vanilla and black walnuts as you mix. Bake by the box's directions only be sure to take them out early. Gooey brownies taste and appear better so it's another way of fooling your Valentine into thinking you used a from scratch recipe (just make sure they're not raw as most brownies call for eggs). Feel free to sprinkle more black walnuts for an even more home-made look.
