Baking Goal: BUY Brownies

Don't these look great? I honestly don't know what the BYU stands for but these brownies with the mint layer sound great! This brownie from Making Memories was done as an Easter treat but I think you could change the colors just a little and do it as anything you want!
Check out the recipe over at Making Memories

Baking My Way: Fudgy Butterscotch Bar

I took this to a family gathering and it was a hit. It makes a large amount so I'm glad it was a hit because I didn't want this ultra sweet dessert sitting around at my house. I think if I made this dessert again I would reduce the sugar because it was killer sweet. It's a great dessert, but I think you need to either want a sugar rush or each it in small doses! It's very similar to the butterscotch bar you'll find in Starbucks or Second Cup (and so many other coffee shops; it's sort of a coffee shop staple!).  


Ingredients:
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons margarine
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt

Directions:
1 Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
2 Grease pan.
3 In a saucepan, melt chocolate chips with the 2 tablespoons of margarine and condensed milk.
4 Stir constantly and set aside when mixture is well blended and looks smooth.
5 In another saucepan, melt 1 cup of margarine over low heat.
6 Remove from heat and add brown sugar and eggs.
7 Blend well.
8 Add the rest of the ingredients (flour, coconut, vanilla, salt, etc) and mix well.
9 Spread half of this batter into the pan then layer the chocolate mixture by tablespoonfuls over the batter.
10 Now spread the remaining batter over this chocolate layer.
11 With the tip of a knife, swirl slightly to create a marble appearance.
12 Bake for 30- 35 minutes or until slight golden brown and center comes out clean when a toothpick is inserted.
13 Cool for at least 45 minutes.
14 Cut into bars.

BTL Dip


This dip is seriously good and so addicting! A girl friend of mine made it and I sat there while we played games and I'm sure I ate most of it throughout the night. 

1 cup Sour Cream
1 cup Mayo
2 tablespoons Chives
3/4 cup Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Tomato - diced
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste

Mix all the ingredients together and service with crackers (that's how we prefer it!)

I love this stuff!! I have never made it myself, but thanks to my friends on facebook I now have the recipe! I’m going to make it just as soon as we eat down our huge stock of Christmas baking from trying all the recipes from the other posts I did.

1 box Crispix cereal
1 package Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Peanut Butter
Icing Sugar 

Mix chocolate chips, butter and peanut butter. Add crispix. Put mixture into a bag with icing sugar. Shake until the Crispix is well coated.

Melt peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips together. When smooth mix in Crispix. Put in a paper bag with icing sugar and shake well until pieces are coated.

Enjoy!
