The boyfriend loves brownies. I’ve never been much of a brownie person myself, as I much prefer to eat a lemon bar. However, I am working on my status of best girlfriend. It’s not going super well seeing as I just forgot his birthday last week, but what’s a girl to do? I make brownies.
When I made these semi-homemade Caramel Marshmallow Crunch Brownies, I did not intend to make them for myself. It was truly a selfless act, I mean with the forgotten birthday and all. WAS. So of course, when you finish baking, you’ve got to try your creation.
As I’m putting the brownies on a plate for photos, I take a little piece here and there and BAM…I realized I just made the most awesome brownies.
So what am I to do here? At the time, I had not yet disclosed to the boyfriend that I was making said brownies. AND, he had to be out of town unexpectedly for a couple days. There’s nothing wrong with eating a pan of brownies yourself right? I mean, if no one is watching, it didn’t really happen right? Like the tree in the forest? I could always just make another batch, right?
BUT, I was good. I did not eat all the brownies. Only one. Ok two. And a half. But that’s it. I promise! I made a resolution that when I got back from vacation in early July that I needed to lose just a few pounds. You know those vacation pounds, right? They’ve got to go.
So I did not eat the whole pan. Plus, again, the forgotten birthday. I needed to redeem myself somehow.
Now, these semi-homemade Caramel Marshmallow Crunch Brownies are pretty damn easy to make. I call them semi-homemade because I use Ghirardelli Chocolate DOUBLE CHOCOLATE Brownie Mix 18oz. (2 Boxes). My favorite brownie mix. I use the same mix in all my semi-homemade brownies. Don’t get me wrong, brownies made from scratch are awesome too, but I think this mix is one of the best. And it makes it just so easy. And how fun is it to focus your time on being creative with your brownies? It’s fun. Believe me.
