Coca-Cola Brownies Recipe

Coca-Cola Brownies Recipe

Many of you probably don’t know this, but I am a big COCA-COLA Collector

I think my addiction started many years ago when I first visited EVERYTHING COCA-COLA  in Las Vegas …. then I started shopping online at COCA-COLA STORE … I was hooked.

Over the years my family & friends has been helping me to build my impressive collection of COCA-COLA collectibles & memorabilia.

I was so excited to add another piece into my collection, but my Little Peanut couldn’t wait to have a movie night & made popcorn

December 26th …… 7pm ….. movie Santa Buddies is loaded …. 

COCA-COLA Popcorn Maker is plugged in & loaded with popcorn kernels according to the instruction …..

hubby turns it on …. pop … pop ….vrrrrrr …… plop …. nothing is happening ….. 2 popped kernels …. handful of burned kernels …. popcorn maker is DEAD.

DISAPPOINTMENT …… major disappointment across my kids faces …. especially Little Peanut ….

family movie night is ruined …. no popcorn …. no snack …. COCA-COLA let us down ….

Well, I couldn’t have that …. could I?

I grabbed my COCA-COLA Cookbook …. went to work ….. half way through the movie my family was enjoying warm …. fudgy ….. COCA-COLA BROWNIES …..

disappointment was gone ….. it was replaced with smiles ….. happiness …. and according Little Peanut the best BROWNIES ever.

So , you see ….. disappointment is part of life …. it makes us stronger …. better & it makes us enjoy & be grateful for the little things we otherwise would take for granted ….

Next time life serves you disappointment (make Coca-Cola Brownies) take the challenge & turn it into something even better. 

We all have been disappointed once or twice in our life …. it’s how we handle disappointment is what’s matter.

By the way ….. the COCA-COLA Popcorn Maker was Nostalgia Electrics product sold in Walmart.
