A hint of mint

I hope you have tried my recipe for pudding and brownies. I posted it a couple of months ago. (here) Well, it's just too good of a recipe to just let it sit around without trying something new.

This time around I used mint brownies and mint pudding.

I do love the chocolate mint combination. Go ahead and give it a try.

Edible Invitation

I absolutely love how these turned out. First you need cookies or even brownies (you can use a cookie cutter to make them any shape you would like. You could even cut the cookies into stars, hearts or flowers.) They can be store bought or homemade.

Someone ate most of my cookies. I don't know who. It will remain a mystery!

Then cut out paper the size and shape of your cookie. Embellish like crazy. Just think how cute it would be to use a scallop punch. So cute. On the back side write the party information or a little note.
Place card on the back of cookie and slip both into a treat bag. Tie with a pretty ribbon.



You could make:
Birthday party invitations
Thank you cards
Baby shower invites
Baby shower favours
Wedding/bridal favours
Thinking of you cards
Birth announcement
Reminders
Special treat in lunch box
Valentine cards
A really tasty business card


You could do chocolate chip cookies and say "Thanks for chipping in" and of course much much more.

Cookie Brownie

I was surprised that there are some that haven't tried the Betty Crocker recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies. So, I found the recipe for you. I did my own cookie dough the last time I made these as seen here. However, using the BC cookie pouch makes it super easy. You could even try the Peanut Butter pouch in place of the Chocolate Chip. Goodness, don't stop there try all the cookie flavors.

Dough head

Everyone has probably tried the Betty Crocker recipe for cookie dough brownies by now. I wanted to see if it would work with a regular homemade cookie dough and in muffin tins.

Turns out it works. I usually make cookie dough and freeze it in balls. I will be able to use my frozen dough for more than just cookies now.


Look how festive my brownies are. These would make good small gifts for friends. Be sure to wrap them in cellophane with a matching ribbon. This would be such a sweet surprise for a friend or just a small treat for a lunch box.

Yummy dessert.

I am reposting this recipe. It was from a couple weeks back. A lot of you haven't seen it and it is worth posting twice.

My sister-in-law brought this to a family reunion. It was so delicious.
You will need:
Brownies 13 x9 pan(I used brownie edge pieces)
Cool Whip 16 oz.(I used 8 oz.)
Prepared Chocolate pudding Large box (I used small)
You can cut this recipe in half. Really you can adjust any of the ingredients in the recipe. Instead of a pan of brownies, I saved all the edges from previous brownie parties in the freezer and broke them up to add to this awesome dessert. I know some people actually like to eat the edges, not me too dry. It doesn't matter in this dessert, the pudding makes everything okay.
I didn't have a pretty glass dish so I used a glass casserole pan. Layer all ingredients until they are gone. Cover and refrigerate over night for best results. This could also be made in pretty wine glasses.
I used light cool whip, fat free could be used. When making the pudding I used skim milk. Brownies off course are just wonderful brownies I didn't change the recipe. I am not crazy you know. Okay, maybe a little.

Warning: this dessert is so very good!

Yummy and Easy

Maybe this isn't the best timing for this post. Yesterday I posted about eating better and exercising. Today I post a dessert. Don't leave me yet, this is a lower fat version.
