Ingredients

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool slightly while you make the sauce.
- In a small saucepan, combine Dr Pepper, butter, cocoa powder, and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly for about 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.1/2 cup Dr Pepper soda, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, pinch salt
- Slice the brownies into squares and drizzle warm Dr Pepper chocolate sauce over the top. Add a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat!
Notes
- You don't want to pull out a clean toothpick but one with a few moist crumbs on it. This helps you not overbake the brownies. They will continue to set as they cool.
- To keep the sauce glossy, drizzle it when it is still warm.
- For an extra pop of flavor use Cherry Dr. Pepper.
- If you would prefer a thicker glaze, let the sauce cool and spread it over the brownies the way you would spread frosting over them.
- You can add half a cup of chopped pecans or walnuts into the brownie batter before baking if you'd like.
