Most of the time, TikTok food hacks can sound strange and like there is no way they could work. But more often than not, they actually do work. The hack recently shared by user @katedavidsun definitely fits the description.

In a viral video she posted several weeks ago, @katedavidsun shared her hack for better boxed brownies. It involves replacing just one ingredient, but according to her, it makes boxed brownies that much better.

Boxed Brownies Hack

According to @katedavidsun, you need to start replacing the water with coffee when making boxed brownies.

“My one piece of advice for everybody in 2023 is to replace the water in your boxed brownie recipe with coffee or espresso,” @katedavidsun says at the beginning of the clip. 

The TikToker proceeds to make boxed brownies with the use of the hack while following all the other instructions on the package. She adds that the coffee won’t overwhelm the brownies, it will only make them better.

Besides the fact that @katedavidsun’s brownies turn out great, another reason to give the hack a chance is numerous positive comments in the comment section.

“I’ve been doing this for years. I’m kinda sad every one is just now doing this and is really happy at the same time,” wrote one user.

“My moms been doing this for years, love it!” added another.
