CONTEST TIME!!!!

 As promised, I'm running a contest to bring on the holiday season. This is designed to bring on some laughs so please don't take the answer to seriously. The way this will be judged is at the time of the end of the contest my friends and I will get together and read all of the entries and determine which answer is our favorite. We don't mind if it's a tad but dirty/vulger or sarcastic. The winner will recieve a Hello Cupcake cook book or The Game of Things along with a few other surprises. All you need to do is complete the sentence.

 This question comes from one of my favorite games ever! The Game of Things! It's nothing but constant laughter! I hope to be able to enjoy all of your answers soon! Leave them in a 
 comment or send me a message.Contest will end on December 31st!

Treats for Game Night!

Every weekend my friends and I get together to play games and make dinner. It helps us stay connected and grounded after a long weeks work. This week was my week to bring the dessert. I decided on Cookies and Cream Brownies. They were so good!!! Everyone gobbled them up just as fast as the home made baked potato soup my friend Clint made. Once you try these brownies you will be hooked! Betty Crocker has the most amazing recipes ever I have to say. Find other stuff that will deffinitly be a sure hit with the crowd

Cookies and Cream Fudge Brownies

Ingrediants:
1 box (1 lb 2.3 oz) Betty Crocker® fudge brownie mix
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
1 cup coarsely chopped creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (about 7 cookies)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 to 4 teaspoons milk 
 
                                                                          Directions:
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, stir brownie mix, oil, water and eggs until well blended. Spread in pan. Sprinkle cookies over batter.

 Bake 24 to 26 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes.

In small bowl, stir together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over brownies. For brownies, cut into 5 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.
