yup

we did.
my biggest little and i made these.
well, her mostly, i did do some slathering of peanut butter and a touch of sideline drooling.

i need to be benched. i have been eating way too much junk and that bestie sugar is not doin mama any favors of late.

truth: i didn't eat these. well, one bite. that's really more of a taste-test to see if they were poison.

oreo stuffed brownies

want to make 'em?

1. make your brownie batter according to box or your own recipe. set aside.

2. take oreo and slather the top with peanut butter, drop it in greased cupcake liner. peanut butter side up.

3. pour brownie batter over the top- fill liner 2/3 full.

4. bake at 350 for about 12 minutes or longer depending on your oven.

5. eat 1 or more first to ensure there is no poison in brownie before feeding to others.

6. now you can share (what's left)

*if you want to pour a touch of batter in bottom of liner first and then put the oreo in that is fine too. it's allowed.

oh, big p.s.- aloha friday blog hop is about to go live later today! check back, i will have my link up at the end of the day and there are 3 giveaways plus the hop. get ready!!

sugar, pie, aloha. it's a hop i'll have you know.

yesterday was pi day.
you didn't know? i mean, it's only a super non-important day!

that's okay. i had you covered.
i helped my biggest little make my famous mini lemon pie tarts. by help, i mean i bought it all and supa-vised.

i'm a really great supervisor by the way. you wondered, i know.
i'm great at licking the spoons and letting her know when the oven timer is going off, things of that nature.

because it is always good to balance your sugar with more sugar, i went ahead and made these while on break from my kitchen supervising position.

 

i'm not posting the recipe because i wouldn't make these again. 

they look all festive but they are fooling us with their colorful party sprinkles. 

whatever cookie!

i have something better anyway, 

it's aloha friday and you will never, NEVER trump aloha friday. not even with sprinkles on top...

|>|>|> since you're here, you should link up below. why not right? you've read my nonsense this far and since you're never gonna get that time back ya might as well make it all worth it.
