Party!

Last weekend, I got to meet some of Steve's grad school friends. He invited them over for wings and drinks. It was really a lot of fun, and they are all really nice people.

Here's the "host gift" Steven got from a couple of his friends. Isn't it pretty?!?!?!

For the party, I made a dessert. Since Steve already had brownie mix, I found this recipe on allrecipes.com to "spruce up" the brownies.

Ingredients:

brownie mix (and whatever it takes to make them)

1 bag mini marshmallows (the smaller bag)

1bag chocolate chips (the smaller bag)

1 T butter

1 1/2 cups rice krispies

1 cup peanut butter (I left this out because Steve doesn't like it.)

Bake the brownies just like you always would in a 9x13 pan. Then, pour the marshmallows over the top of the brownies and cook them for three more minutes. Marshmallows will still be "lumpy." Let the brownies sit for a bit while you melt the chocolate and the butter together (30 seconds in microwave, stir, repeat....). You would add the peanut butter at this time, too, if you want it. Stir the rice krispies into the melted mixture, then pour it over the top of the brownies. Use a knife to "marble" the chocolate mixture and marshmallows together.

This is a WONDERFUL, EASY dessert. :) Just they way I like it.
