In this “anything goes” episode, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly ditch traditional cooking and dive into a bracket-style taste test of eight boxed brownie mixes to determine the ultimate supermarket pick.

Inspired by sports-style elimination rounds, the hosts sample brownies head-to-head, debating fudginess, cakiness, moisture, chocolate intensity, and even the eternal “center vs corner” debate.

As the competition unfolds, different styles rise and fall based on texture, flavor, and overall chocolate satisfaction. The trio compares classic, cakey brownies with dense, ultra-fudgy options while revealing how small differences in ingredients and preparation can dramatically change the final result.

With brand reveals, nostalgic reactions, and plenty of laughs along the way, the episode delivers a fun, practical guide to navigating the brownie aisle.
