One lucky grand prize winner each day will win a year’s supply of DD Hot Chocolate and will have their winning tweet inserted into a fun digital image, to continue spreading Hot Chocolate happiness long after the sweeps is over.

Salted Caramel Brownie Bites

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 Box of your favorite brownie mix
  • 1 Small DD Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate
  • 2 Eggs
  • 12 Caramel squares, unwrapped (more if you'd like to decorate with them!)
  • Chocolate frosting (optional)
  • Kosher salt (optional)

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, DD Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.

3. Pour the brownie batter into a greased cupcake tin about halfway full. Then place it in the oven for seven minutes.

4. Remove the cupcake tin from the oven and place a caramel in the center of each brownie. Please the tin back in the oven to bake for another eight minutes (this will make the center gooey and melted).

5. Remove the tin from the oven and remove the brownies from the pan.

6. Serve warm with chocolate frosting and a sprinkle of kosher salt for decoration. For an added pop, top the brownie off with another caramel and enjoy!
