Cooking with ChristyB!

Those that know me are probably wondering why on earth I, of all people, would start a cooking blog.

My original intent was to become more organized by creating a weekly dinner menu for my family as a way to force myself to cook.

In turn, this blog was created as a way to force myself to keep up with my weekly dinner menus so I wouldn't let down my tens of readers by not posting. It's a vicious cycle.

I never claimed to be a very good cook though I do enjoy giving it the 'ol college try. My family says I cook "Cajun" (as in BURNT). I simply don't have the patience to hang around the kitchen while something is cooking and I routinely forget to set the timer which often results in "blackened" dishes.

With the creation of my weekly dinner menus, I have found a new passion for cooking. I don’t dread cooking meals (at least not every night). I by no means create any of the recipes shared on this blog. I simply enjoy researching new recipes and sharing them with my readers along with my main passion, photography, by photographing images of the final product.

I hope you enjoy reading about my cooking adventures. Maybe my dinner menus will encourage you to be more creative with your family’s dinner meals.

 Here’s to making a mess in the kitchen!

Snickers Brownies

Oh, yes! You read that correctly - SNICKERS BROWNIES. As if they weren’t each perfect on their own, the two have met and will live happily ever after…in my stomach.

Only problem is, I screwed up the topping. I have no idea how, but it ended up a greasy goopy mess. And yes, I ate them anyway. I’m sure if you try this recipe you’ll have much better luck than I did.

Snickers Brownies
*Recipe from a magazine, but I can’t remember which one.

(2) 19.9 ounce packages brownie mix
5 Snickers bars, chopped
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar (that’s powdered sugar for those like me that may be wondering)
3/4 cup caramel topping, divided
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9″x13″ baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Prepare brownie mix according to package instructions. Stir in chopped Snickers bars. Pour into prepared pan; bake for 45 minutes, or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack.

In a large bowl, beat butter and confectioner’s sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add 1/2 cup caramel topping, beating well. Add cream, beating well. Spread mixture over cooled brownies. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts; drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup caramel sauce. Cut into squares to serve.
