Root Beer Float Brownies

Tomorrow, August 6th, is National Root Beer Float Day.  I'm not a big soda pop fan, but I do love root beer floats.  The creamy cold sweet goodness is tasty and delicious.  

I am also a big brownie fan and combining the creamy deliciousness of root beer floats with cake-like brownies results in these delicious Chocolate Root Beer Float Brownies.  Yummy! 

The root beer enhances the chocolate and yet still adds this amazing delicious flavor, and the white chocolate chips add the creaminess of the float.

Trust me, these brownies are scrumptious and easy to whip up from scratch in just a few minutes.
