Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl combine cake mix, oil, eggs, vanilla extract and water. This can be done either by hand or with a hand held mixer.
Pour the batter into the prepared 9x9 pan and spread out into an even layer. Sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top of the batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes {or until the sides are set and a toothpick still has a bit of batter on it when you pull it from the middle}. To get the fudgy texture you know and love, be sure to not over bake. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Once cool, pull up on the parchment paper and remove the entire square of brownies. Cut them into 12 squares. Serve with a scoop of ice cream and store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Don't over bake the cake mix brownies. Pull them out of the oven when there is still a bit of batter left on the toothpick but the sides of the brownies are set.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Use a plastic knife to cut your brownies once they are completely cooled. Plastic knives are naturally nonstick, and they won't tear the brownies when you cut them like a metal knife can do.
