While I'm no longer an avid soda drinker, I've hopped on the recent trend of spiking brownie mix with Dr. Pepper. The result is the MOST fudgy, indulgent brownies you'll ever bite into. To up the anti, I made the brownies a la mode drizzled with a Dr. Pepper salted caramel sauce––an og creation. The foundation of the recipe is a high-quality box mix, I used Ghirardelli double chocolate. This starts the recipe on a high note & then we raise the bar by adding espresso powder––to enhance the chocolate flavor, sub water with milk & sub oil with butter––for added richness. Note: If you don't use the Ghirardelli double chocolate brownie mix, simply substitute the amount of water with the same amount of milk & do the same for butter in place of oil.
