Baked Candy Cookie Brownies "Brookies" Bars

Like I have said in some previous posts, I knew the kitchen in this new apartment was going to be 100x better than any other kitchen we have had and therefore I wanted to bake a lot more. Since being in the apartment for 1 week, I have decided to make a mix of a few of our favorite things: cookies, brownies and candy! In this recipe I am using a box mix that I found at the store for “Brookies” but you can also make a cookie batter and a brownie batter if you want more of a home made flair (though, box is just as good).

The Greatest Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

So, do you remember that Friends episode where Phoebe tells Monica that her Grandmother made the greatest chocolate chip cookies which then sends Monica into a tail spin where she needs to figure out the greatest cookie recipe? By the end of the episode we as the viewer (and Monica) come to find out that this amazing recipe is the Nestle Toll House Cookie recipe.

DIY Cosmic Brownies

Who doesn’t love a good Little Debbie treat?? Well, KC really loves cosmic brownies. When we first started dating I used to get them for him every time I saw them. To be honest I still do that, but they are hard to find in our area! Normally for Valentine’s Day I get him a new backpack and fill it with boxes of cosmic brownies. Today is February 23 2020 and for the past 7 years we have celebrated every 23 in the year. For this month I wanted to make my own cosmic brownies to celebrate! Follow along if you want to make your own as well.

Baked Conversation Heart Mini Cakes

I recently bought a lot of new pans, including heart shaped cake and cupcake pans and I have been really excited to use them! Finally it is Valentine’s Day and POOF the perfect DIY popped into my brain! I am not a baker by any means but these cakes were quite easy and making the letters were even easier.
