Butterscotch Chip Brownies

So it‘s almost the end of the semester and I trying to use up my baking products. I looked into my cabinet and I still have butterscotch chips and a brownie mix.  I believe these two products will work well together and I could even cut the brownies into shapes, but I don’t have any cookie cutters.

Ingredients

Brownie mix

2 Eggs

½ cup Vegetable oil

¼ cup Water

About 1 ¾ cup Butterscotch chips

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease pan.

Mix water, eggs, oil and brownie together until all dry ingredients are mixed in.  Make sure to start siring slowly so that the mix doesn't fly out of the bowl.

Add in butterscotch chips then pour into 9 by 9 pan.

Bake for 30- minutes

Take out and let cool then enjoy. 

Funfetti Fudge

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine pinned a funfetti recipe on pintrests and asked me if I could make it for my blog. This weekend was really busy, but the recipe was really quick and fun.  It took me about five minutes to make it then it chills for an hour. I had all the ingredients and just enough time to make it.

Ingredients

1 cup funfetti cake mix

1 cup powdered sugar

½ stick of butter

¼ cup milk

sprinkles

In a microwavable bowl mix powdered sugar and cake mix.

Add butter and milk but do NOT stir.

Microwave for 2 minutes then stir quickly until all the dry ingredients is mixed in.

Add sprinkles to make the fudge more colorful

Pour into a greased square or rectangular dish that is about 8 by 8. I used a bigger pan and should have doubled the recipe.  

Chill for an hour in the fridge and enjoy.

If I did this again I would add food coloring because I think the fudge needs more color.

Also you can make funfetti dip with the left over cake mix. 

No Bake Cookies with a Twist

love dark chocolate

With Easter Break coming up I wanted  to make something easy and quick. Since it is not raining or cloudy, I decided to make No bake cookies. The trick to no bake cookies is to not make them when it’s rainy. They will not set correctly if the humidity levels are high. I wanted them to be a little different, so I decided to pretzels. This I'm hoping will add some salty flavor to go along with the sweet.

Measure-All® Cup

Ingredients

2 cups of sugar

4 tablespoons cocoa (I use dark)

1 stick of butter

½ cup milk

½ cup of peanut butter (I use crunchy)

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 ½ cups of oatmeal

1 cup of crushed pretzels (if you don’t want to use pretzels use 3 cups of oatmeal instead of 2 1/2 )

just keep string

Measure all ingredients out first because it needs to be ready to go. If you don’t get the ingredients in fast enough it will not set correctly.

In a sauce pan or pot mix sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk together. Let it boil for a minute then take of heat and immediately add peanut butter, vanilla, oatmeal, and pretzels

and stir some more

 

Mix together until all the oatmeal and pretzels are covered.

Take spoon and drop onto wax paper.

Lets cool and harden then enjoy.  

Candy Brownies

Yum Yum

I love playing around with brownies. I like adding stuff to the mix. One time my brother and I added caramel sauce, marshmallows, and almonds. Those tasted amazing.  I have also added candy. One night my friend and I were bored and wanted sweets. We had some mini candy bars and decided to add it to the mix. We didn’t add a lot so we had fun guessing if we would have candy in each bite. This time I decided to add my Dads favorite candy MM’s. 

Ingredients 

2 eggs

¼ cup water

2/3 cup vegetable/canola oil

Brownie mix

MM’s (2 packets)

Hand full of chocolate chips

Pre- heat oven to 350 degrees and spray pan. I’m using my 9 by 9 square Willton pan.

Love chocolate

Mix together Brownie mix, 2 eggs, ¼ cup water, 2/3 cup oil, MM’s and chocolate chips in a medium size bowl until it’s well blended. I used MM’s because I had them lying around. The best part of these brownies is finding good stuff you already have and adding it in.  I really doesn’t matter how many chocolate chips you use; I just wanted more chocolate.

Ready to bake

Pour in to pan and cook for about 30 minutes. Check to make sure the brownies are cooked all the way through by putting a tooth pick in the brownie and pulling it out to see if the batter sticks. 

Take out and cool then cut in to squares and enjoy.

Girl Scout Cookie Parfaits

love

look at all the layers

It’s Girl Scout Cookie season. I decided to make parfaits with Caramel Delights or Samoas (depending on where you live) and Thin Mints.

Ingredients

Instant pudding (I used chocolate)

Cookies

2 cups Milk

1 cup Heavy whipping cream

½ teaspoon Vanilla

2 tablespoons Sugar

Miniature chocolate bar (optional)

Fruit (optional)

But a bowl and whisk or fork if you’re like me and live at school in freezer to chill.

In a medium or large bowl mix pudding and milk for two minutes with a whisk or fork. 

Chill for 5 minutes.

While pudding is chilling get bowl and whisk/fork from freezer and add cream, vanilla and sugar. Whisk until it is fluffy and stiff. This will take a while. Just keep at it and it will eventually fluff up and become whip cream. 

taste better then store bought

Then take out pudding and layer in a parfait bowl or a regular class bowl. Then layers with cookies (I broke the cookies up). Then with whip cream. After that you can start to layers again. You could also add a layer of fruit. Strawberries would have been really good.

for caramel and cocoanut lovers

for mint lovers

To garnish the top I graded chocolate pieces using a  serrated butter knife and a mini Hersey bar.

Then it’s ready to serve and enjoy.
