lots of flavors, however long it takes me

Fudgy Brownies Bar


When I first started this project, hungry and ambitious, I vowed I'd eat all flavors, including those I've already had, and including all bars as well. Though all of the bars contain flavors I will have to eat on their own as well, may I reiterate that I was ambitious...and hungry.

The brownie pop was definitely good, but it was missing something. I guess it's fair to note that I'm not all that into ice cream pops. Something about the hard chocolate shell just doesn't do it for me, and I need a rich flavor and/or mix ins to really enjoy it. For example, Haagen Dazs makes a coffee/almond/toffee pop that I could eat on the reg...but this isn't about Haagen Dazs, is it? It should also be noted that I enjoy pops when I can share them with my puppy, who enjoys vanilla ice cream a LOT. If someone in my family indulges in said pop, we will eat the chocolate all off (my preferred way to eat it anyway) and once it is chocolate-free, we share the insides with our favorite princess. Since merely taking the chocolate coating off a brownie pop still left it laden with chocolate goodness (read: puppy killers), I couldn't even share my enjoyment.

The brownie better was delicious, as I imagine nearly all batters are, but something just missed the mark. Even still, I'll note I'm by no means mad I had to eat it... Did I mention it was a birthday gift?
