“Boring” to Boosting Brownies

Ever just want to make the boring treat become better?

Due to ice and snow our Valentines party was put off quite a bit at church, so we had a make up Valentine party and I had fun. Can’t you tell? Several of the senior guys had given their lists of wants for the evening so I wanted to make it special with a Valentine twist. Brownies were on the menu and cake pops. Since my back went out, the whole cake pop part was a no go, but I made 4 pans of brownies and then rolled 150 of them into balls, stuck a stick in them and froze them for an hour. After they were hardened enough I dipped them in chocolate and sprinkled fun Valentine sprinkles all over them. The pink and red drizzled Strawberries and pretzels were fun too. I looked like my kitchen had thrown up pink, but the teens seemed to enjoy them lots.

So, next time you make a pan of brownies and want to create a little extra buzz with your kids, stick a stick in them and dip them in chocolate. You cannot go wrong!
