As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew I had to make these brownies. I lovelovelove the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate at Starbucks but thankfully for my hips, they don’t sell it any more. You can, however, still get the mix in the grocery store. I happened to still have four packets leftover from some hot chocolate cookies I made almost exactly a year ago so that’s what I used in these brownies.
These brownies have both caramel bits and marshmallows baked in them.
They had a really good texture: fudgy and chewy just the way I like them.
However – and I hate to say this – the brownies just weren’t that great. There just wasn’t any wow factor. The chocolate flavor was watered down and they weren’t particularly salty or caramel-y. Probably the best thing about them was the marshmallow bits on top. They taste like those magically delicious Lucky Charms marshmallows.
I wish I could rave about these brownies, but they just didn’t do it for me or the other people who sampled them. Oh well, can’t win ‘em all…
