Salted Caramel Brownie Sundaes

Mmmm…is there anything better than a warm brownie sundae? I’m thinking that this Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae would probably put a big smile on just about anyone’s face. It certainly was a big hit at my house.

My oldest kiddo takes after me and loves all things sweet. He is already thinking about dessert before he starts his meal. But my little Jeb-a-doo is quite the opposite – he passes up dessert OFTEN! Who does that? He just doesn’t have a sweet tooth which is so curious to me since I think chocolate is one of the best things on Earth!

He will pass up a piece of cake, turn down a cookie, may or may not have a piece of candy…but the one exception–the thing he will never, ever turn down is a brownie! So when he saw that I had brought home some of the Pillsbury Simple mixes from the Publix sale, you should have seen the big smile on his face. He grabbed the box and ran around the kitchen yelling –“Yes…brownies!” That of course was followed by, “Can we make them? Can we make them…pleeeeaaaasssseee!???!”

Needless to say I could not turn down that cute face. Truth be told, I bought the box with him in mind. Now we didn’t just make the basic brownie. We kicked it up a notch and added some caramel and pecans and make it extra special.

Of course I stocked up and have a couple more boxes tucked away in the pantry. With the BOGO sale running right now at Publix, I just couldn’t pass up the deal. So I will be able to surprise him with more brownies and get to see that big chocolate smile sometime in the near future!

If you haven’t had the chance to take advantage of the deal you still have time to head into Publix to grab a great price! Both the mixes and the frosting are on sale in the current ad so you can grab everything you need to whip up something delicious!
