Chocolate banana brownies studded with copious amounts of dulce de leche. An easy way to jazz up the old chocolate brownie and make it something really special.
Do I need to add anything more except the recipe to this post? This is definitely a brownie recipe that you will want to make. You’ll want to eat and then you’ll want to make it again, and again and again.
Have you ever pranced around your kitchen doing a happy dance? That wiggle with a smile when you know you have created something pretty damn awesome.
A creation that deliciously tantalises every single tastebud in your mouth. Well I did, I pranced, I threw in a Saturday Night Fever move or two, and I may have even fist pumped with a ‘hell yeah’.
I woke up that morning craving chocolate brownies. Surely I am not the only one that has ever done this? But there were 5 small sugar bananas dying in the fruit bowl that had other ideas. And that folks, is how the chocolate banana brownie idea came into my head.
And the dulce de leche? It just seemed like a really good idea at the time. Oh my goodness, it turned out to be quite a brilliant one. Chocolate, bananas and caramel, these brownies are a thing of sheer deliciousness.
This recipe makes a bucket load of brownies, way more than a normal household can devour in a couple of days. So it’s a good thing these guys freeze. Wrap individually and freeze, defrost and eat. Of course feel free to eat the lot.
Please tell me I’m not the only bum wiggling happy dancer out there?
