You might be asking yourself, “What in the world is a Spring Break brownie?” Well, as I was mixing a bowl of super dark chocolate ooey gooey batter together, I started dumping in some of my favorite things like; caramel corn, potato chips, milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate. I thought what fun it would be to create little squares of “Party” or better yet, Spring Break Brownies!
These brownies are super chocolaty because I used Hershey’s Dark Cocoa Powder. The fudgy quality of these bars is phenomenal and the popcorn and chips add a salty kick. I think the texture is super cool too because you get a mild crunch, along with the creaminess of the melted chocolate.
These are a showstopper to serve at a party, on vacation, or just at home with your family. These brownies will store in the refrigerator for up to a week, but I bet you can’t resist them that long.
