The ones in the commercial are actually a chocolate-covered brownie bite but I got the Molten Lava Brownies. They’re a lot like the Mini Delights by Betty Crocker, except these are refrigerated. They come two to a box so.. it’s definitely cheaper to make your own brownies.

Anyway, if you go this route, you’ll take out one of the little brownie bowls, strip off the plastic and microwave it for 10 – 15 seconds, according to the directions. The directions are on crack, however. They warn not to overheat this but I’ve microwaved it up to 30 seconds and it still remains moderately cold and the “molten” chocolate on top barely melts. Totally annoying.

It’s tasty but nothing compared to the molten chocolate cakes you’ll order in a restaurant. The texture is definitely more like cake than brownies, in my opinion, and something non-chocolate would balance it out nicely. It’s not awful, just not something I’d be likely to purchase again. There’s a nice coupon on the website, though, if you’re interested.

We chose the Christmas tree design and the cookies (well, the batch I didn’t burn) turned out perfectly soft, sweet and delicious. The tree design turned out well and the colours within the cookie were pretty vibrant. It almost looked like the designs were done in chocolate or something, but they were the same – as far as I know. These cookies are so moist, they’re almost cake-like.

These cookies would do in a pinch or if you just want something a little different. I think they would go well with milk or hot chocolate and could be frosted or topped with a dollop of Cool Whip to make them a bit more exciting. They’re a quality product overall.

PS, sorry for the lack of image. These are just a seasonal take off of Pillsbury’s Ready to Bake Sugar cookies and I forgot to snap a picture before tossing the package.
