On our way out of Epcot, my friend B, wanted to grab a snack/light meal she could eat in her car on her drive home (I was still staying at AKL). What better place to find something light and portable than Sunshine Seasons! Of course, while we were there I needed to pick up a snack for myself.
I decided on the S'more Brownie (sweet and no frosting to get smushed) and took it back to AKL with me to enjoy there. It is basically a round brownie (kind of in between cakey and chewy) with a marshmallow semi-melted on top and a light drizzle of chocolate.
There was a small hint of graham cracker crumbs in/on the brownie, but not enough to make it taste anything like a s'more. The marshmallow wasn't melted quite enough and the texture wasn't great either. Maybe if it was warm and fresh it would have been better. I can see how nuking it in a microwave would improve pretty much everything. But then when does warm chocolate NOT improve things?
In the end, it was meh. I would have been better off getting a cupcake from the beautiful display! I'm not annoyed that I tried it, but I would never pick it again either.
Live and learn! Now hop on to the next stops!
Sunshine Seasons is always a stop for us - especially on a hot day in EPCOT. I think we also mostly eat there while waiting for our Soarin' fastpass window. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA s'more brownie sounds good in theory - too bad it didn't live up to expectations!
ReplyDeleteSounds like it should be good and it looks good. Too bad:( Love Sunshine Seasons!
ReplyDeleteBummer! However, I have a s'more brownie recipe that will be sure to please!! They are even good cold. Here is the link http://www.thecookieadaychallenge.com/2012/05/day-59-ooey-gooey-smore-brownies.html.
ReplyDeletelove the Smore Brownie, So yummy
ReplyDeleteOnce again - thanks for sharing the results of your investigation. ;) Sunshine Seasons is my favorite place to get fattening, delicious treats!!
ReplyDeleteTotally off the list of desserts that I am allowed to eat...but I guess I don't have to feel too left out on this one. ;o)
ReplyDeleteYum! I've been craving smores! Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info! I don't care for s'mores but I do love brownies...
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time processing the thought that there might be a s'mores brownie out there that is less than stupendous. It's a brownie with a marshmallow and chocolate. Even the pictures look good. How could they fail?
