Marshmallow Brownies

Okay, so this one is super easy.

You just need: boxed brownie mix, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips (not pictured).

Grease/spray your 9x9 (or whatever size) pan. Preheat oven according to directions. Mix brownie mix, then bake until 15 minutes before your brownies are supposed to be done.

15 minutes before the time is up, add marshmallows,

and chocolate chips.

Finish baking. You can bake a little longer if you want the marshmallows to brown.

Grease/spray knife before attempting to cut. :)

This is best served warm with ice cream!! But it's great after it's completely cooled off, too.

Let me know what you think when you try it! And don't forget to check out my other recipes here.

Baked S'mores!

You will need:

1/4 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. sugar

1 stick butter at room temperature

1/4 teaspoon salt

7 graham cracker sheets

1 tsp baking powder

4 regular or 2 large Hershey's bars

1 egg

1 1/3 c. flour

1 cup marshmallow creme or 2 cups marshmallows

1 tsp vanilla extract

{Make graham crackers into crumbs, or use 1 cup already prepared crumbs. Grease 9x9 glass baking dish.}

Preheat oven to 350*F. Mix together wet ingredients (butter, egg, vanilla). Add sugar and brown sugar and set aside. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and graham cracker crumbs. Slowly add the second mixture to the first and mix with electric mixer.

Roll graham cracker mixture into a ball. Divide in half. Take the first half and press into the bottom of your greased 9x9 baking dish.

This is what it should look like when you're done.

Add Hershey's.

Sneak a bite of the leftovers. Shhhh.

Add marshmallows or marshmallow creme. We used cream but I recommend using mini marshmallows. I think it would taste much better!

Take the other half of the prepared graham cracker crust and roll it out flat. You can do this in pieces, in your hand, or you can flour your counter-top and attempt it there. :) I think I used a little more than half on the bottom so my top crust wasn't as pretty. :(

Bake at 350*F for 35 minutes, and let cool before cutting.

These would be great to take to a pot luck, BBQ, etc. They cut up into squares quite nicely. Try them and let me know what ya think.

I am going to add a marshmallow brownie recipe later today, and next week will be the last edition of Mouth Watering Wednesdays... I'm transitioning into healthier recipes after that. So enjoy these goodies while they last!

Angel Food Cake is fat free?

I'm not going to lie, it was a tough decision. I wasn't sure which dessert I was going to feature today.

The choices were:

I decided on a Butterfinger Angel Food Cake (but the other two will be featured the next two Wednesdays!). And let me tell you something... Angel Food Cake is not fat free after I'm done with it!

Vanilla pudding mix

1 3/4 cups milk

1 container cool whip

6 Butterfinger candy bars

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup butter, melted

Crush up the Butterfinger bars in a separate bowl. Set aside.

Use a mixer and blend the pudding mix, milk, cool whip, powdered sugar, and melted butter.

Since there are no eggs in this recipe, you can now lick the beaters... if your kids don't beat you to it.

Get it? Beat, beaters.. ahahaha.. umm okay, back to the recipe...

Tear the angel food cake up into small pieces. Take 1/2 of it and put it in the bottom of a large bowl.

Add 1/2 of the cool whip mixture on top of the cake.

Top with 1/2 of the crushed Butterfinger bars.

Repeat, refrigerate, and enjoy!

Usually I am all about the chocolate, and I love sweet stuff, but this dessert is a little bit lighter since it has the angel food cake and cool whip. It's an interesting combination. The kids loved it, and so did everyone else who tried it. Let me know what you think when you make it!
