Dr Pepper Brownies can be made from scratch or easily with a box mix! These were easy to make. I frosted brownies with a beautiful rainbow of rosettes and stars. If you have a box mix, eggs, and Dr Pepper then you'll have dessert prepped fast!

Frosted Brownies or Naked
These brownies do not need to be frosted! They are so yummy and good that you won't need to add another thing to them 🙂
I wanted to practice making rosettes, stars, and swirls (not sure the technical name) with frosting. I made three batches of brownies and frosted them all! Pink, blue, and unicorn rainbow!
I was blown away by how easy it was to decorate brownies. I'm a total newbie and yet these look decent! I bought multiple piping tips from Walmart and lots of disposable bags. Watch the video below to see how easy it was to decorate with frosting.
How Do Dr Pepper Brownies Taste
For the most part, they taste like traditional brownies. There's a slight hint of the soda but almost everyone I gave brownies to didn't notice our special ingredient. Oh well.
Diet Soda or Regular
I used regular Dr Pepper in these batches of brownies. But I've used diet soda and even sparkling water in the past with boxed cake mix. All work great!
