I think it was almost two weeks ago that I posted a link that I’d found on the Internet to pretzel brownies. They looked really good but used a mix – which I don’t like to do. I decided to work with the recipe a bit to get it to the point it was exactly what I wanted it to be. Continue reading

S’mores Brownies
I will admit to making these before Christmas BUT they are going to be just as good on a cold, snowy day in January or a sweltering, humid July evening.
S’mores. Everyone has had them. They have recently become the stuff of gourmands everywhere, the darling of the foodie world along with whoopie pies and cupcakes.I have even heard of a restaurant (local I think?) that creates homemade marshmallows and graham crackers and serves s’mores as a dessert.
Do you remember the first time you had one? I do. Continue reading

These brownies are meant for people like us; people who really would love to be able to settle on what they love but can’t because there are just too many choices. The bottom layer is a chewy, fudgey brownie and the top layer is made of rich, pecan laden blondies. Yum! Continue reading
Pecan Praline Cheesecake Brownie Bars
My good friend and sidekick, Edye, is from Louisiana. I feel I must say this before I say the next part so that you will understand.
I say “PRAY-leen”
She says “PRAH-leen”
I try to ONLY say PRAH-leen when she is around because… well you know them cajun types. Continue reading
