This is what I am giving all of my neighbors next year!

Isn't this just the best idea?  I can't forget that this is what I want to do next year.

Peppermint candy cane brownies

I just made them (except I used a brownie mix) I know how lazy can you get?

I haven't got to taste one yet, but all of the licking of my fingers has tasted really good.

Apple Cinnamon Maple Streusel Muffins

I saw these and just had to put them on the blog. The problem is that I am trying to lose weight and I really don't think that I will be successful if I keep making all of these good treats.  So I have a plan, I just need to find people to give them to. Who cares if they are trying to lose weight! I will make a batch, taste one or 2 or . . ., then give the rest to someone in need.

Now if you really want to help, you could make them and then let me know what you think... But what would be the fun in that?

Apple Pie Cupcakes!!!!

Don't these look fun!  I can't wait to try them.  But I have way too many things to try.  For today the Young Women will just have to settle for the Cookies and Cream Oreo Fudge Brownies

Cookies n Cream Oreo Fudge Brownies

I think I gained 5 pounds just drooling over these! Don't ya just have to try them?

I originally found this recipe here: Cookies-n-Cream Oreo Fudge Brownies

I have made a few changes:

2 boxes brownie mix
Oil and eggs (as called for on the box)
1 heaping scoop cookies and cream ice cream
2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cup hot fudge sunday topping
1 bag double stuffed oreos

Now, mix the brownie mix, oil, eggs and ice cream together.  Then add the chocolate chips.  Now spread half of the brownie mix  in a 9 x 13 pan. 
Now layer oreos over the entire pan of brownies.  Spread with the hot fudge topping.  Top with the rest of the brownie mix.   Bake according to package directions, less about 5 or 10 minutes.  Start watching it from there you don't want to overbake these!
