These suckers are seriously easy, and amazingly tasty. They have been nicknamed “Cub Poops” in my house, because upon seeing them cooling on a rack, my 12yo promptly blurted out, “Hey those look like bear cub poops.” Boys have poop on the brain 24-7 – gross.
I love these because they start with a box mix, but that’s where the “storebought” ends – adding a bit of espresso to the batter kicks up the chocolate flavor, and although I used walnuts in this version – a salty nut, like a salted almond, walnut or peanut would go REALLY well – might try that next time!
