It's been a Rocky Road!

This week started out on the wrong foot...literally, for Bryn and Dave! Bryn, while swinging joyfully from a tree swing, slammed her knee full force into a large piece of rebar stinking out of the ground. She has been on crutches ever since. At school, she has to use a wheelchair. Dave, less then 24 hours later slipped on the stairs and broke his pinkie toe! The fall was so loud it woke up the whole house! These poor patients of mine are in need of some oowie, gooey, lovin' from my oven! Bring on their favorite brownies. . .





ROCKY ROAD BROWNIES~
Semi-homemade version~ Fast and easy!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease the bottom of a 17in.x12in.x1in. cookie sheet. Set aside.
2 boxes Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie 9x13 Mix (works best)

Follow instructions on box and bake for 25 minutes-remove from oven and sprinkle 3/4 bag of miniature marshmallows. Return to oven for 5 minutes. Remove, now we're to the best part the. . .

Frosting

1/2 cup butter (1 cube)
1/3 cup cocoa
1/3 cup milk
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

In a saucepan, bring butter, cocoa, and milk to a boil stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla. Consistency should be sort of thin. Drizzle oven brownies. This frosting sometimes makes me weep, it's so Divine!

Homemade Brownie Version~ If you have the time, it's worth it!

updating soon - the version I posted wasn't the right one!

Seriously how much stinkin good stuff can you make! This is not helping me one bit since I don't eat sugar I can't visit your sight until I see some granola or flax seed something! My mouth watered when I saw the picture.

I FOUND YOU!!! LOL

THANK YOU for the wonderful message you left us!! Sorry it took so long to get back to you! I'm still figuring out this darn blogging thing and just realized AFTER I was crying to Anthony that I need Dave's email to find YOU, I tried going back to your message, that I could email you that way and that you had a blog also. Anthony comes in and says "OH YEAH, I KNEW THAT" MEN!!!

I can't wait to check out all your GREAT meals!!! I'm in heaven right now because I just saw your oh so YUMMY blueberry muffins!!! SO HAPPY!!!

Sorry to hear about Dave and Bryn, I hope they're feeling better soon!

So they have been made, they were loved by all (including our babysitter who never eats anything when she's here!) & I'd choose this as my last dessert before quitting sugar...if I ever choose to do so.

Jody......I am glad to see you are doing your part to spread discord and belly fat. Spencer happened to walk by when I pulled your blog up and said, "Uh Mom....remember those are my favorite?! You haven't made those in forever. You must not love me anymore.
Um yeah Spencer....THAT'S why. So thank you. Thank you.
Don't worry....I still adore you!
(AND these brownies.)
