i have a box of fudge/brownie mix that's been sitting in my pantry & i wanna make it tomorrow but i'm just a little confused about the actual calorie count. like i know there's two different calorie amounts, the raw mix and then the prepared mix outcome. but my question is this, if it requires an egg + 1tbsp of olive oil, that's not included in the final calorie right? i have to take those two extra ingredients into account as well, correct? or does the box already do that. this may be a dumb question, i just wanted to be sure

    Prepared means that they've added in the necessary ingredients for you, so no extra counting necessary. Obviously if you were to use different ingredients than what they recommend, it would change the caloric value--in that case, you could add up the "mix" values and whatever you put in.
