does reading make you sleepy? (and a recipe)
Posted by suzspeaks on November 13th, 2008. Filed under: Uncategorized.I think many of us like to read to relax. If I read in bed, I can usually only make it through a few pages before I am out. Apparently, it runs in the family::
This is what I found last night when I went to check on him! If you’ll notice, he has a little smudge of chocolate on his chin. OK, so I’m not a perfect mother whose kid goes to bed perfectly clean every night..oh well!
Last night I made THE MOST AMAZING BROWNIES EVER!! Seriously, I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for over a year. I found it yesterday and gave it a try. It is SO easy but SO wonderful! YOU have to try them!!
I will never buy a box of brownie mix again…EVER…this is so much better and easier!
Here’s the recipe::
Triple Fudge Brownies
1 chocolate cake mix in a box (I used milk chocolate)
1 pkg instant chocolate pudding mix (small)
1 12oz pkg chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)
2 cups Milk
Directions: Set oven @ 350 degrees. Whisk milk and pudding together. Add in chocolate cake mix (if you don’t have a mega mixer like mine & are using a reg. whisk you may need to switch to a spoon as you continue to add cake) and stir until no lumps/clumps. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into a greased pan and bake for 30 min. or until top springs back. (my oven cooks fast, I only baked for about 23 minutes. I like my brownies a little gooey in the middle though)
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and/or serve with vanilla ice cream
I forgot to sprinkle w/ powdered sugar and they were still amazing!
Enjoy!

I was so excited to see that you would never buy a box of brownie mix again since we don’t have brownie mix here. And I was all ready to try the recipe since I’m baking brownies for a bake sale tomorrow. And then I read cake mix in the recipe. Such disappointment since we don’t have cake mix here either! I actually have a box or two of chocolate cake mix from the U.S., so I may try this recipe later. Just not for the bake sale.

Umm those do sound good. I will have to give them a try. Brownies are my weakness. Along, with cookies, cakes, real food, and pretty much any other type of food.

amazing…I was going to ask you for the recipe.

Those brownies sound killer. I think you should test how well they hold up in travel. Like shipping to california???

What a cutie pie! I don’t fall asleep reading, but it does help me wind down a little bit. Those brownies sound amazing…but all you had to say was the words “double fudge”…enough said!
