How to Make the evil Brownie-Cookie/Swoodles

Here are some step by step instructions to make the evil but amazing Chocolate Chip cookie, peanut butter cup brownie. Officially needs another name. I think I will call them Swoodles. That is a good and fun word to say. I just googled to make sure that wasn't something dirty and its not! Apparently according to urban dictionary  it means: "showing extreme joy over something that is going to or has occurred" includes the example "Karl said swoodles when steph T said she would date him". Oh Urban dictionary, you are neat.

Anyways, the preparation of Swoodles begins like this:

Step one : Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Step one: Buy the easiest to make brownies in the universe

Step two, buy the easiest cookies ever

the only actual mixing and effort filled portion include breaking an egg and stirring.

mush some cookie dough along the bottom of a heavily greased pan. I say heavily because then its easier to get the yummy Swoodles out when you are impatiently awaiting their yum.

If you like peanut butter put a peanut butter cup in on top of the cookie layer. I bet you could put all kinds of delicious things on there...

Poor brownie batter on top. I use my measuring cup because I don't know any other way. As you can see Dave added mini peanut butter cup chocolate chips I bought (president's choice brand) for his three.

I make mine "plain" in the middle because I think it would be too much for me otherwise.

Put tray of Swoodles into oven.

Drool at window for however long until the brownie comes out off a knife still a teeny bit gooey. I still don't know the time, I think 15 ish minutes? I went 10 minutes and then 5 a few times but I lost track.

I tried to cut around the edges so they wouldn't get too stuck but it may or may not have caused more harm then good I am not sure I don't bake often

Yum.

Evil peanut butter Swoodles

I probably should have let them cool, but I instead used a spoon and any leftovers in the pan don't have calories because that is how life works I swear. Take note Jenny Craig.

This is the other plate because they wouldn't all fit I did not just eat all but four in a second.

See, told you.

So many layers of yum.

Final step: Get fat.

 So that is my photo-blog of attempting to bake alone. I think I overcooked my brownies a bit but whatever I like them a bit overcooked I think I can never remember. I think next time I will make it in a big cake pan and make squares or a round cake pan and cut it like a pizza. Enjoy your Swoodles! Or if you have a better and more relevant name for these let me know!

Talk to you soon!

Migranes and Comfort Food

Well, it happened. Dave got his first migraine. Now, anyone who has had one would say "oh that shit's serious don't joke about that shit!" Well too bad I get migraines about twice a month so its totally okay if I talk about it. Besides I wasn't going to joke about it because migraines suck and even though Dave will likely never read this, he would probably send his attack-dog at me.

 One second she is classy.

The next she will rip your nose off.















Anyways, he had a migraine and because I am the best girlfriend in the universe and not at all because I am a hungry chubby-girl who is in need of comfort food I am making a second batch of those cookie-brownie-peanut butter cups snacks. This time his feature tiny peanut butter cups on top as well because he wanted them. I think the cure to migraines is an over dose of sugar and peanut butter right?

I took more pictures of the steps in case you want to see. I will probably post tomorrow because I have posted so many times today that you probably think I am crazy and accomplish nothing in my normal life. I swear I totally get all my work done and then some. I am THAT good.

Brownies, Cookies, and Nerdiness

Good afternoon readers,

I am very sorry that I missed my first day of posting yesterday however I promise it was for a good cause.

When I went away to Nova Scotia, I left my dog Sable with my sister. In return for Sandy taking in my lovely hair-monster, she was to be rewarded with some baked goods. They were originally going to be Costco cookies because those are better then anything I can make as my cooking skills are so lack luster its sad.

However, Sandy discovered something.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Yes, they do look delicious. And so Sandy convinced me that we could bake these together (henceforth relieving my I-will-burn-my-house-down-if-try-to-bake-alone stres) and that not only shall we bake them together, but we will invite the lovely Crystal to come with us as our resident cookie/baking expert. The three of us together can only mean one thing: Binge eating and Nintendo.

So here are some pictures of us baking these treats!

So, needless to say they turned out amazing. However, we made the discovery that with the whole peanut butter cup inside it is apparently a little bit too much. See, I don't like peanut butter. I know that is weird but I don't care I really hate the stuff. So to have some for me to eat and for testing purposes we made half with peanut butter cups and half without. Sandy and Crystal both enjoyed the pieces with peanut butter cups but after tasting the ones without the evil peanut butter they agreed it was less overwhelming and more delicious.

However it is completely to taste because we gave one to my mother and she seemed to love it. I think perhaps a key fact that I observed which could be the reason for her enjoyment of the peanut butter inside was that she took tiny bites compared to Sandy and Crystals. Mom was trying to savour it because she only had one, where Crystal, Sandy and I devoured ours because we had the whole pan in front of us. So maybe because there would be less evil peanut butter at a time it was better? Either way I will be for sure making these again.

The best part is I can totally make them alone. You just need pilsbury cookie dough, and brownie mix. The brownie mix we used was the low fat betty crocker because all it needs is one egg and a third of a cup of water and then you stir. Its actually my very favourite brownie mix even though its "low fat". (However I thin kit may not count if you eat the whole pan but let's not discuss that problem today.)

Any ways, we had an awesome day of baking, chatting, nerding out and nintendo. I think Sandy sometimes forgets how nerdy me and Crystal have become over the years... I don't think anyone can fully handle how nerdy I have become. I get really excited over really strange things and I refuse to tone it down despite the strange looks I get.

I am nerdy and proud!

I do however need to get onto a treadmill ASAP because my nerdy ass is getting large from all these brownie cookies.

(PS- Zantac is an antacid not an antidepressant. although in all honesty either would work in this situation)
