Wah wahhhh.

HaPpY bRoWnIe DaY to you!!! (I too did not realize we had just a day but it made me laugh so I already like it). I love me some brownies in moderation of course but had always used the pre-packaged box brownie mix so thanks for the easy (already have the stuff in pantry) recipe yet again.
ReplyDeleteAll of these recipes look so good! Print, print, print! LOL! I think it's great that you're doing a countdown with the cookies...it's a very nostalgic way to celebrate and makes it so much more fun to experiment with different ingredients.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you are either evil or cruel or wonderful, or maybe all three, I can't decide. I LOVE Candy Cane Joe-Joe's, and I love brownies. When I make these (because I will, you know), I have to have a plan to get the bulk of them out of the house quick or I'm in big, big trouble. YUM!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDeleteDenise- I'm probably a good mix of all three. ;) We saved 4 of them back for us and took the rest to the nursing home a few doors down who were ecstatic to receive them! They also got 2 other recipes I made so there were some happy, hyped up old folks in the neighborhood last night! :-)
Oh my GOD this looks even better than the others! Gahhhh, this is killing me. I want to try it all, it's like I can almost imagine the taste, only I know it would be better. :p
ReplyDeleteThis is one I'd better not make. They look fantastic though. Maybe I'll make them Sunday and dump them on my coworkers Monday. I'll just have one to ummmm... make sure the recipe came out right (yeah, sure) and take the rest to work.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I should play it safe and not make them at all.
Happy Brownie Day! (I'm having cake today or I'd celebrate with a brownie. Maybe if I squint?)
ReplyDeleteI love brownies Mmmm! You are so creative! I think you should open a bakery!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and for the record I only had two in as many days (moderation is key). The cookies taste like thin mints and in combination with the brownie it is just plane awesome. Great job baby!
