Red velvet cake mix (and its ingredients - water, oil, eggs), cream cheese icing, and candy bark coating. That's it. Bake the cake as directed. Mash the cake while it's still warm and mix with the icing. Form into balls and cover with the melted candy bark coating. Stick in the fridge to harden and you're done! And they're so pretty and festive. Very simple and will be easy to make at someone else's house.EChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180865807260179612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945081070926859645.post-34547443314478499952008-12-18T14:16:00.000-06:002008-12-18T14:16:00.000-06:00saw this and thought of you:http://everybodylikess...saw this and thought of you:<BR/><BR/>http://everybodylikessandwiches.blogspot.com/2008/12/lets-call-them-rustic-brown-butter.htmlLaura H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15266429303549708077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945081070926859645.post-83418139119609083182008-12-18T09:57:00.000-06:002008-12-18T09:57:00.000-06:00I am coming out of lurkdom because I simply must s...I am coming out of lurkdom because I simply must share this with you!!!

I promise. It's got Irish Cream in them, there is no doubt to their festivity! These are one of my signature desserts, I'm also well known for making cheesecakes for every possible holiday occasion, but I tend to think brownies are easier... So without further ado: Irish Brownies<BR/><BR/>I have a "from scratch" version, and my "make it quickly!" version if you're not opposed to using Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, etc. ;) <BR/><BR/>from scratch:<BR/>1 cup flour<BR/>1/2 tsp baking powder<BR/>1/4 tsp salt<BR/>4 (1 ounce) squares baking chocolate<BR/>1/2 cup butter<BR/>1/2 cup sugar<BR/>2 large eggs<BR/>1/4 cup Irish Cream<BR/><BR/>Preheat oven to 350. Grease 8 inch baking pan and set aside.<BR/><BR/>Place flour baking powder and salt in a small bowl, stir to combine. Melt chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time with a wire whisk. Whisk in Irish cream. Whisk flour mixture into chocolate mixture. Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan.<BR/><BR/>Bake 22-25 minutes or until center is set. Move pan to a wire rack to cool. When cool frost with:<BR/><BR/>Irish cream frosting<BR/><BR/>powdered sugar<BR/>2 ounces cream cheese<BR/>2 tbs butter<BR/>2 Tbs Irish cream<BR/><BR/>beat all together until smooth and creamy, spread over brownies.<BR/><BR/>Quick version:<BR/><BR/>Pick out your favorite brownie mix, add in the Irish cream with the other ingredients (I usually add it in addition, but you can substitute it for part of the water). Bake until fudgy and delicious (because only weird people like their brownies cake-like. If you want cake-like bake a cake! yes, I feel strongly about this. haha). Cool and frost with Irish Cream frosting.iceprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13204917980598351323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945081070926859645.post-54815060885061811012008-12-17T13:28:00.000-06:002008-12-17T13:28:00.000-06:00Ok, this one is the easiest and I really enjoy it ...Ok, this one is the easiest and I really enjoy it because it is really moist.<BR/>Whenever I need to make a desert in a hurry I make a Dump cake.<BR/>20 ounces crushed pineapple<BR/>16 ounces cherry pie filling<BR/>1 package yellow cake mix, dry<BR/>1 1/2 sticks butter, sliced<BR/><BR/>Dump all ingredients into baking pan and bake at 350 F until brown, approximately 1 hour.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I add pecans too.

You just need to buy popcorn and white almond bark. Its 3 squares of almond bark to one bag of popcorn. (Its best to buy a plain type of popcorn--no need for the extra butter here.) Pop your popcorn, melt your almond bark. Put the popcorn in a gallon size ziploc baggie. Pour the melted almond bark in the bag. Close bag and shake. Let it harden and tada you have the best Christmas snack/dessert ever. My mom will sometimes sprinkle red and green sprinkles in the bag to add some Christmas cheer.Sweet Simplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612389037838617767noreply@blogger.com
