Sweet Treats

What a perfect treat for my sweetheart!

What a great idea! I love the date on the bag

The brownie bags can be found here.

I printed it out on white paper and taped the sides to form a bag.

This brownie recipe is a keeper!

The gal at Crafty Chicks wasn't kidding when she said that her mom makes the best brownies. I am a brownie lover and have tested and tasted many recipes. This one is a blue ribbon winner! It now has the #1 brownie spot in my recipe book. She said that they are still delicious even after days in their dried-out state. I guess I will never know - they only lasted an hour after coming out of the oven. I halved the recipe into a 9X13 pan in fear that I would eat more than I should - I did.
