Peanut Butter Brownie Layer Recipe 1/1/11

Happy New Year everyone!!! This year I opted to not have a resolution, so then I won't be breaking any. I just promised myself to eat cautiously and not eat too much. I've been making way too much resolutions over the years and even before the week ends I have broken it already, so none this year.


Anyhoo! I've made this really yummy yummy and rich dessert a couple of days ago, when we had our friends over. Mel said, next time I make this, I have to have vanilla ice cream 'coz it will go great with it. The kids loved it with ice cold milk.

I just wanted to share the recipe with you guys.

What you need

1 box 21 oz. brownie mix, that fits a 13x9-inch pan size
1 cup cold milk
1 small box Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP Whipped Topping (use frozen not thawed)
3 squares Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/2 cup Dry Roasted Peanuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

PREPARE and bake brownies in 13x9-inch pan as directed on package and then cool.

WHILE cooling, beat milk and pudding mix with whisk for couple of minutes, then add peanut butter and sugar; mix well. You can refrigerate until brownies are completely cooled. Spread well over brownies.

MICROWAVE frozen cool whip and chocolate on HIGH 1 min., stirring every 30 sec. Spread over pudding and top with nuts (optional) and refrigerate till the chocolate hardens a bit.

Merry Christmas 12/24/10

I just want to thank everyone for following my blog and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. My 1 year anniversary for this blog is exactly a month from now and I'm excited.




I might start doing more (food - food) dishes next year. My baking has slowed down a bit with my carpal tunnel. I won't be doing fondant for cakes anymore, well maybe ones or twice, definitely not a lot. I will focus more on cupcakes and cookies next year.

Again, thank you for all the comments and feedback.

Jingle BALLS, I meant the cake balls silly! 12/21/10

I just want to share the cake bites ( I prefer to call them cake bites instead of balls, LOL). I made these for the kids teachers, along with the tote bags.


I made a cherry chip cake with crushed peppermint candy cane and red velvet. I dipped them in red and green Wilton candy melts. I sprinkled some with colored sugars and sprinkles. The boxes I got from the Dollar General and some at Big lots. The tote bags are made by me. I know you see a lot of bags, but I had the kids picked the bags they want to give to their teacher. My daughter wanted to give to three teachers so I had her picked 3 and my son has 2 teachers.



The totes I gave away.

Cupcake Wreaths 12/13/10

My last post was a Cake Wreath, so I figured I would make cupcakes as well. They are much cuter and so much easier to make. They are small enough to lug around it's bite size. No cutting involve :-) and the kids loves it.

I used a Wilton leaf tip for the wreath and I'm not sure what those sprinkles are called. LOL! SO use any red round sprinkles you can find.

"Merry Christmas"
