Diet Coke Butterscotch Brownies

diet coke butterscotch brownies

On Monday, I shared a Coca-Cola Barbeque Chicken recipe.  To go along with my Coca-Cola dinner, I made Diet Coke Butterscotch Brownies. The base of this recipe is all over the internet lately.  I decided to take it up a notch and mix in some butterscotch chocolate candy that I had lying around.

To be honest, I have given up Diet Coke.  I am not a coffee drinker, so Diet Coke was my caffeine, and my start to the day. In February I decided I needed to cut it out of my diet.  It was embarrassingly hard to quit, but I did it!  Now I enjoy the occasional one maybe once every few weeks, but that is it.  I had to buy a small bottle to make these brownies, so I wouldn’t drink a whole case or a whole 2 liter bottle 🙂

These brownies are more of a cake like consistency.  They are extremely moist.  So much so, that they are difficult to cut.  I recommend refrigerating them to get them more solid, before slicing.  Without the added candy they are only 115 calories a serving, so they are much lower in calories than a traditional brownie. We had been to Ikea and bought a bag of their chocolate coated butterscotch candies, and they needed to go before I ate them all.  They did add great flavor to these.  You could use butterscotch chips if you wanted, or just leave them out.

  10. The fact that I just about hurt myself clicking to this page when I saw the words Diet Coke tells you how deep my addiction runs. I only allow myself one a day though (and the last sip is sitting in the glass right next to me as we ‘speak’). To be able to use my beloved beverage in a baked treat is a true gift. The brownies look absolutely decadent.

  28. So I tried making this last night, using root beer instead, but the batter was more of a cake batter consistency so all the chips sunk to the bottom and it took almost twice as long to cook. I used 12 oz of root beer idk what went wrong. But they still tasted wonderful!
