Win Coffee #CrushTheCups & Chocolate Caramel Brownie Recipe

*This is a sponsored post for Cameron’s coffee and Linqia. I received a product for review.  All opinions belong to Jenny at dapperhouse.

This time of year is all about warm and cozy! Coffee is what I look forward to because it is the ultimate comfort food. I pop a single serve pod in the machine and a minute later I have a flavorful and aromatic cup of comfort and warmth! Add a bit of sweet cream and it is an indulgence that makes me feel complete. I also support Cameron’s coffee because they are so much better for the environment. I always try to make a positive impact in the choices I make and this decision is easily done.

Here is a delicious comfort food recipe for the holidays or any occasion that I came up with as a perfect pairing for one of my favorite flavors of Cameron’s Coffee. . .Chocolate Caramel Brownie.

Ingredients for Blonde Chocolate Caramel Brownies:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup melted butter
• 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbs. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350.

Grease a small baking pan or cake pan.

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Combine wet ingredients in a small mixing bowl.

Slowly add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients until mixed.

Pour into baking pan and prepare the Topping.

Ingredients for Topping:

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 – 3/4 cup oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 TBS molasses
• 1/4 cup softened butter
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup pecan pieces
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate sauce
• 1 1/2 cups caramel sauce

Combine: 1/4 flour, sugars, molasses, cinnamon and butter until smooth. Add in the oats and remaining flour until crumbly.

Cover brownie mix with chocolate chips and pecans.

Cover that with the strudel  topping.

Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Once cooled, drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauces.

Serve with your favorite flavor or blend from Cameron’s Coffee. I chose the Chocolate Caramel Brownie flavor in Single Serve brewer packs. The taste is beyond magical and the packets are less wasteful and better for our environment.
