Introducing our Decadent Honey Bun Brownies, a delightful treat that combines the rich, comforting flavors of honey and cinnamon with the moist, cake-like texture of a brownie. These brownies are topped with a sweet, buttery glaze that seeps into every swirl, making each bite a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.

Ingredients:

• 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, 3 eggs, sour cream, and honey. Beat with an electric mixer until well blended.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
5. Swirl the mixture with a knife or a toothpick.
6. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
7. Swirl again to create a marbled effect.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. While the brownies are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, remaining egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
10. As soon as the brownies are out of the oven, pour the glaze over the hot brownies, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
11. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
