Diet Coke Brownies-My oPINion

While browsing on Pinterest, (go figure!) I saw a pin for Diet Coke Brownies. See it here. They were made with brownie mix, and one can of diet coke. Sounds sooo easy, and people were saying good things, so I decided to try it, with regular Coke, not diet.



I had one box of traditional brownie mix, and one can of regular Coke. I mixed them together and poured into a 9x9 glass pan. I baked them according to the directions on the box.





They looked and smelled sooo good........BUT I didn't care for them. They were moist, and pretty sticky, and chocolatey, but I could tell they were a lower calorie brownie, and let's face it, if I'm going to eat a brownie, I want to enjoy every. single. bite! I'd prefer to eat less and enjoy it more! (Sidenote: Brownies are a weakness of mine) They aren't terrible though, and Goose liked them, Pants said they were "okay" but he didn't like the middle that it reminded him of pudding?

If you are a brownie lover, stay tuned for my truffle brownie recipe. It's fabulous!
