So what is a broffle? Well, ya know brunch? Well this is a broffle. It's a brownie meets waffle love story. Throw some caramel on top and a little kosher salt and we have ourselves the perfect bite sized dessert.
I can attest that these will travel well once the caramel has set. As I type they are packed in my husband's carry-on flying to Houston, right next to the gougeres. You'd think he's a lucky man, but .....they are for my sister! Luckily for him she has no idea how many broffle bites and gougeres went into that box! He promised to save her a few. We'll see how that goes!
