CHOCOLATE BROWNIES!!!

I have to say almost every PMS'ing woman's favorite thing to have is chocolate.  These brownies are guaranteed to fulfill that need for chocolate without a doubt. I love these brownies, I made two batches in two days with my daughter. The kids sucked them down in a matter of hours(with my help of course).  They are moist, rich, chocolaty brownies and if it weren't for my kids help, I'd of downed the whole pan by myself.

They are easy to make.  I managed to throw this batch together in a matter of ten minutes, threw them in the oven, got ready to pick up my kids in 40 minutes and have time to pull them out in time to cool while I went for my kids at school, then returned to frost them.

The first time I made the frosting, I panicked. I put the ingredients in a bowl and it was all dry. Eventually I figured out to use a fork and mash all the sugar, chocolate, honey and butter together to form what was, in my opinion, the best damn frosting ever. I did a taste test, and was surprised I didn't stick my head in the bowl just to lick the remnants off the bottom and sides.

I hope you find time to make these. They go well with an ice cold glass of milk and a good t.v. show.

Here's the recipe and the finished results(minus a piece I had to have).

Enjoy!

Above: These are Roshkies and your basic Chocolate chip cookies which I made for Christmas/Yule 2008. My grandmother use to make these all the time, she'd fill them with Poppy seed, Apricot and Walnut fillings. Yum!

Above: This is our infamous "last minute" Spongebob cake. It was the Spongebob Marathon weekend on Nickelodeon and the kids wanted me to bake them a Spongebob cake. Mind you, specialty cakes really aren't my "thing", however, I think this came out fairly well for a novice like myself LOL

This is one of the two Yule cakes I made with my kids. We had a blast making this. Just a simple cake, nothing fancy going on here of course. I'll tell you a secret though, this cake sunk (i don't know how) and I stuffed mini-marshmallows in the cake dips to even it out LOL Not something I'd serve to an adult(unless it was some sort of Rocky Road Cake) but the kids enjoyed it.

This is a chocolate pudding cake. Most delectable cake I've ever eaten. A friend of mine was visiting me and we threw this one together, and had fun doing it in the process.
