To upgrade boxed brownies, I'd switch my baking vessel or add some extracts to the batter.
You can also throw in salty snacks, extra chocolate, peanut butter, or coffee.
Even if your mix already has chocolate chips, add in the chopped chocolate anyways.
Chocolate chips contain stabilizers that help them maintain their shape, but chopped chocolate will create beautiful melted pockets in the brownies.
If you want a subtle boost to the chocolate flavor of your brownies, add a teaspoon or two of espresso powder to the batter.
