Although I usually start from scratch, these additions will work for
any recipe or mix...

I make rocky road brownies and add miniature marshmallows, pecans, and
semi-sweet morsels.

I have also been known to layer the top of the brownies with chocolate
covered thin mints about a minute or two before they are ready to come
out of the oven. I then swirl that around as a sort of chocolate mint
frosting.
