Maybe the BEST Brownies Ever!!!

Probably like many of you, I am addicted to Pinterest.  The worst part about Pinterest (other than it can consume too much of time) is that when I see a delicious looking food pin, I make it.  Okay, so it is not bad that I make things from Pinterest, but being a chocolate lover I don't need to consume more calories!  Ugh, I admit.... I have a HUGE sweet tooth.

Moving on, my friend pinned these little jewels and I knew I had to make them.  Ohhh my, they are so yummy!!!  They are really sweet so I advise drinking a cold glass of milk with them.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DOUGH BROWNIES!!!!!!


You can find the original recipe HERE along with a bunch of others!!!  Check it out!!!  I did alter my peanut butter dough recipe just a little.

9x13 pan of brownies baked and cooled 
1/4 cup salted butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 & 1/4 cups plain m&m's

Mix peanut butter and butter until smooth.  Add sugar and brown sugar and mix until smooth.  Add milk and vanilla and continue mixing until smooth.  Add the flour and mix until smooth.  Fold in the M&M's or sprinkle them on top of the peanut butter dough after you spread it over the brownies.

The original recipe called for 2 cups of flour and pretzel M&M's.  

Enjoy!!!

Fabric Covered Photo Mats

I had fun dressing up some old photo mats.  You can take those boring white or cream colored photo mats and simply spice them up with fabric to match your decor.  If you don't have fabric I am sure decorative scrapbook paper would work too.

If you don't have a photo mat I will show you how to make your own from supplies you probably have in your cupboard.   


For step by step instructions on how to make these custom mats hop on over here.
