Brownies with Sprinkles

I was craving some brownies the other night and didn't have a box mix. So what did I do? Make them from scratch! Turns out they are super easy to make and way yummier than the box mix. Here is the recipe that I used. :)  Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!



Chocolate Brownies


1 1/3 cup flour
2 cups sugar (or a little more if you like them extra sweet)
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla

Heat the oven to 350*. Use two separate bowls, In the first bowl combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt). In the second bowl combine the wet ingredients (oil, egg, vanilla).  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined. (do NOT use a mixer) Spread the mix in a 9x13 pan. Top the brownie batter with colorful sprinkles of any kind. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Quadruple Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Pudding with Swiss Rolls

Chocolate Pudding with Swiss Rolls

 

 

 

Ingredients: box of chocolate pudding mix (and all it calls for), whipped topping, and swiss rolls.

 

 

First you mix the chocolate pudding mix according to the box and refrigerate it for a little bit. While this is in the fridge it is the perfect time to cut the swiss rolls. It depends on your taste for how many swiss rolls you want to add to the mix. I generally add a half a box of swiss rolls with one box of pudding. The swiss rolls need to be cut fairly small. Then when you are almost ready to serve the pudding you add in the whipped topping. Slowly fold in the whipped topping into the pudding until it turns a lighter brown. You can add as much or as little according to your taste. I prefer to add a lot of whipped topping it makes the pudding taste like chocolate mousse. Then after it is all mixed together it is time to layer the pudding. To layer the pudding you start with swiss rolls. Put as many or as few as you would like in the bottom of the bowl. Then layer in the pudding mixture and then continue this until you use all of the mixtures. You should end with pudding on the top. For garnish you can add the crumbs from cutting the swiss rolls and or canned whipped cream. 

 

 

 

Enjoy! :)
