Most of TikTok’s food trends seem outrageous at first, but once you try them, you realize that they actually work. Take the recent trend of adding Dr. Pepper soda when making brownies. It might sound crazy, but it turns out it actually works.
TikTok user @jordan_the_stallion8 is famous on social media for trying out various food hacks, tricks, and trends so you wouldn’t have to. He recently decided to see how brownies taste if you add Dr. Pepper to them and was pleasantly surprised.
In a viral video, which amassed more than 11 million views since being uploaded in early August, @jordan_the_stallion8 can be seen recreating the recipe at 3 o’clock in the morning. The TikToker combines a box of brownie mix with two eggs, ½ cup of vegetable oil, a handful of chocolate chips, and ¼ cup of Dr. Pepper.
After mixing the batter, @jordan_the_stallion8 “dumps” it into a glass tray that has been rubbed with softened butter. Finally, he pops it into the preheated oven at 350F for 20 minutes.
Once the brownies are baked, the TikToker tries them and is amazed at how good they taste. He proceeds to eat the whole tray with some milk, and you will likely do the same if you decide to make Dr. Pepper brownies. Check out the full video below.
