That’s where these brownies came from. I baked them but I have to give all the credits to Ghirardelli Chocolate for some fantastic brownie treats. The package came with chocolate chips included in the mix. All I needed to add were 1/3 cup of water, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 egg. 
It’s super easy to make too. I didn’t even need to use an electrical mixer. First, I just blended the water, oil, and egg in a mixing bowl. Then I added the brownie mix and stirred until moistened. Finally, I poured the batter into lightly greased baking pan, put the pan inside a preheated oven, and baked it for 45-50 minutes.
When it’s done, we could smell the beautiful aroma of freshly baked brownies. I waited until it was thoroughly cooled before cutting. The only thing was, I used a round cake pan instead of a square pan, that’s why the pieces were cut like cake pieces. 
These brownies didn’t last too long once they were done. But, I didn’t mind either as I decided spontaneously to make it to celebrate some happy news. You see, my son had a Practical Driving Assessment scheduled on that day. He had been practicing and preparing for it intensively for about a month before the test. And he brought the happy news that he passed the test – on his first try too! This kid also passed the theory test with 100% score on his first try when he got his Learner’s Permit. I hope he continues to be a good and responsible driver throughout his probationary period and eventually as a holder of full driver’s license.

@louievill It's pretty popular in the States... Actually, it's a US division of Lindt - a Swiss confectioner which is a popular brand down here...

congratulations to your son for passing the driving test.
my son is also waiting for the license next month, because what was given to him was only a sheet of paper as the receipt.

@ridingbet I can totally relate to that... I know my son needs to learn to be independent but it's so hard for me to let go... I'm doing my best to let all my sons go because it's for their own good...

@Tina30219 They have so many different varieties of brownie mixes and I think they're all good... Ultimate Fudge, Triple Chocolate, and Caramel Turtle are just some of the varieties in this line...

@averygirl72 He took the test very seriously. He had been intensively practicing specifically in the few weeks leading up to the test. All his efforts and concentrations paid off when he passed the test. He was very focused when he took the test. But he also remembered to relax and not stressing out too much - obviously the assessor could see all that and at the end of the assessment he told my son: "Your driving is fine, it's a pass!"

@sishy7 When kids are first becoming drivers, this is hopefully instilled in their minds:)

@sishy7 You are definitely making this a challenge, to fly right or suffer the consequences. My cousins boy Jeff wasn't given these rules, when he first got his drivers license. One day after school, he was showing off for his friend, while driving and ended up getting killed:(

Congrats to your son on getting great scores on both tests. I remember going for my driving test and how worried I was. It's such a great feeling when you pass and realize it wasn't so hard after all. Now your son will have a little independence driving himself about. And Ghirardelli chocolate brownies for a celebration. What a great day!!!

thank you! yes, he's been waiting to pass this test although the rules are a bit weird down here. he still has to gain more experience including 5 hours of night driving before taking one more test, a computerized Hazard Perception Test. until then he still drives with a Learner's Permit requiring a qualified full licensed person next to him. but it shouldn't be too long now before he'll be able to drive on his own - he has passed the hardest test, the practical test, that usually take first time takers several tries to pass.
