The brownies are flavorful and moist, loaded with sweet layers of goodness. These reindeer brownies are fun, festive, and super sweet. Plus, using Coke or Diet Coke® adds a nice flavor, and the brownies always come out chewy and good.
Quick heads up, these are SUPER sweet. Also, just a little tip. I stored my reindeer brownies in the freezer. I liked the way the different layers tasted frozen.
