Work has been a tad on the crazy side so my oven has been quiet (maybe this is a good thing? It makes the ‘eat fewer sweets’ easier anyway). This unfortunately means I have no new pictures of desserts fresh from my oven. Instead I’ve decided to do a quick roundup of the brownies I’ve spotted recently:
Peanut Butter Nutella Brownies from Cathy on Noble Pig (hello? chocolate and peanut butter… ’nuff said)
Fudgy Mocha Brownies from HoneyB on The Life and Loves of Grumpy’s Honeybunch (bonus: this is a Cooking Light recipe)
Grasshopper Brownies from Deb on smitten kitchen (this one was posted over a month ago, but definitely worth mentioning… minty chocolatey richness)
The pictures are making me hungry… I need a brownie.

Why just have brownies when you could brownies with chocolate chip cookie dough? I spotted these at Bakerella this morning. Evil. Evil I say!
But you know I will be making these sometime soon. I have been thinking about “Superbowl” foods and got stuck on the dessert: cookies or brownies? With these I don’t have to choose… |
| Chocolate Chip Cookie + Brownie? Sounds good. But how about Chocolate Chip Cookie topped with Chocolate Cake? Last week I saw this fabulous chocolate cake + cookie combo at Dog Hill Kitchen: 
Looks yummy. I have a feeling someone will be getting one of these for their birthday cake…

| These doubled up desserts have started my mind reeling. I’m already thinking of other combinations… brownie + cheesecake? I am still trying to “eat healthy” so these thoughts don’t really help (then again, neither does upside down cake). But I do need to get back into the kitchen for real sometime soon. I just have that itch. |

I am doing some prep for the party tonight. We have a few folks coming over around 8pm so I’m putting together a few snacky things. My friends usually bring more snacks and drinks so I am trying to keep it simple so we don’t end up with 3 times as much food as we need.
I made marshmallows last night and plan to sprinkle some of then almonds and then drizzle it with chocolate. A few more of the homemade marshmallows made it into a batch of brownies that are cooling in the pan as I type…
Not very pretty at the moment, but I bet they will be prettier cut up with the marshmallow showing through against the dark chocolate brownie. Mmm.
On the non-sweet side of things I was thinking easy stuff like sliced salami and cheese and crudites (celery, carrots, etc) with hummus or something. My challenge when prepping for a party is keeping it simple enough… I tend to go overboard… way, way overboard :)
