<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Some folks like their brownies with a texture that\u2019s similar to cake, while others like them dense and chewy. I’m in the latter crowd. <\/p>\n
I say if you I want a brownie that’s a bit more spongy, go crash a child’s birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese’s and get yourself a slice of chocolate cake. <\/p>\n
If you’re like me and enjoy chewy brownies, then Jack in the Box’s new Brownie Bites aren’t for you. Actually, if you’re a fan of any kind of brownies, then Jack in the Box’s Brownie Bites aren’t for you. Well, unless you’re a fan of dry happiness-draining brownies. <\/p>\n
The only time brownies have ever wiped the smile on my face was when I forgot to add eggs to the brownie mix and I ended up with brownies that resembled, and were as hard as, what we call here on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, pahoehoe lava.<\/p>\n
Geology lesson bonus!<\/p>\n
I didn’t expect Jack in the Box’s new Brownie Bites to be elegant made-from-scratch brownies from a reality show dessert chef trying to please three judges in order to not be eliminated, but I presumed they would be almost as good as brownies made using a Betty Crocker mix by an eighth grader in a home economics class.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the Jack in the Box Brownie Bites didn’t meet my low expectations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Again, they weren’t chewy, but that could’ve easily been forgiven if they had a nice chocolate flavor. However, as I chewed through each of the five pieces, I could feel the disappointment my taste buds were experiencing from the dessert’s unsatisfying chocolate flavor. <\/p>\n
And after I was done with this dainty snack, all I could think about was how I wished it had chocolate chips baked in them or it came with a chocolate dipping sauce, both of which would\u2019ve enhanced the flavor.<\/p>\n
But all is not bad with Jack in the Box\u2019s Brownie Bites. They\u2019re served warm so if you buy two Brownie Bites servings, each of which contains five pieces, you can stick one on every fingertip to keep them temporarily warm during these cold months. Also, they\u2019re cheap enough that you can probably purchase it with the loose change you find under your car’s seat. <\/p>\n
But if you do that, please look for the money before you go to the drive-thru.<\/p>\n
Overall, I’m pretty sure I won’t be ordering Jack in the Box’s Brownie Bites again. With desserts, it should make you think, “Oh, what a wonderful way to end a meal!” or “That was so worth the calories!” But these brownie bites didn’t do either.<\/p>\n
