Step-by-step

• Pour Brownie mix in a bowl
• Add the can of soda
• Mix well so you have no clumps of dry brownie mix.
• Bake in a glass baking sheet for for 30-45 minutes - You want the knife to come out clean when you check them.
• Let cool for about 15-20 minutes unless you are ok with them falling apart. Which is normally what happens to me because I am impatient ;)
