Betty Crocker...

take THAT!

I went on a baking frenzy today. Dad loves brownies. He loves the corners and the edges the most! I found the PERFECT BROWNIE PAN for him. I ordered it and made some for him today. He LOVED it.

Then I got to thinking. Shecky is on this WEIRD assed kick where he wants to eat a PB&J and brownie sandwich. ::Shudder:: So... I got on Google and found several recipe's. None of them really worked for me. So, I made my own version and... ummm... it REALLY rocks!

Make your favorite brownie base or use a box mix. Prepare according to the directions. Then take:

1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 Cup MELTED Butter

Mix together. Drop peanut butter mixture by teaspoons onto the brownie batter. It will likely cover most of the top but that's a GOOD thing. Once you've put all the peanut butter mixture on the batter drag a knife through the brownie batter lengthwise and then across the width. (Do this several times to "swirl" the PB mixture.)

Bake according to brownie recipe instructions. (You may need to cook it an additional 5 or so minutes. The PB mixture seems to keep a bit more moisture in than normal.)

Take 1 Cup of the Jelly of your choice and melt in the microwave for 1 min 30 seconds. Spread over top of cooked brownies and let cool completely.

I know I don't really need to say this but umm...THESE ARE NOT DIET FRIENDLY!!!! They are so, SO good though. Kids and adults both seem to love them.

ZOMG So, SO GOOD!

My father decided he HAD to have brownies today. So, I made him brownies. (I cursed him the ENTIRE time cause they are SO a red light food for me... but I digress.) Because I KNEW I was going to be tempted by them I decided to make a Weight Watchers Fruit Cobbler. HOLY CRAP that was good. Here's the recipe:

Pina Colada Fruit Cobbler

2 lbs. Frozen Pineapple
1 Coconut Supreme Cake Mix
1 can Fresca, Diet Sprite OR Diet 7-UP

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray 9X13 pan with non-stick spray.
Place still frozen pineapple chunks in bottom of 9X13 pan.
Sprinkle DRY cake mix over pineapple.
Slowly pour diet soda over dry cake mix as evenly as possible.
Cover pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil from pan and bake for another 40-55 min. (Pineapple sometimes has a lot of water in it so its necessary to bake it until the top is no longer gooey.)

Even if you're NOT dieting this cobbler is just made of awesome. ::Drools just thinking about it sitting on the counter::

Lemme know if you try it and if you like it. :)
