Valentine's Day Series: Andies Mint Brownies ♥

.
Hello Friends!  

This past weekend we celebrated a special birthday.  Rob turned 48!!!  I made him this yummy chocolate layer cake (it had raspberry jam in the middle: ). He loved it. 

If you're looking for the recipe I will direct you to the cake mix isle at the grocery store.  It's a Pillsbury box mix and it was delicious! Frosting came out of a can too.  I just added some sprinkles and viola!


No shame here : ) 





My husband is a no frills guy.  He's about as down to Earth as they come.  He loves dinners at home, getting a small regular coffee in the morning (no flavored stuff for him!), and working out in the garage.  Our lives revolve around the simple things.

And I love that  ♥  





Make a wish!  ♥  




My point is that wonderful things can come out of a box mix. 
Not everything has to be a full sha-bang from scratch all the time. 

Here is one of my favorite brownie recipes using a box mix and chocolate mint candies. 
I always make these in February. 

Enjoy!!

I love decorating for Valentines Day! ♥  

All the pink and red hearts look so pretty against the January snow.  The colors instantly brighten my days (which lately have been cold and dreary...)


I made this little set up on my coffee table today.  What do you think?  I'm smiling, how about you? 
And speaking of Valentine's Day, we are only a few weeks away!  I was trying to think of some special treats to bake and I remembered these brownies I made for Christmas .  
Chocolate + mint = perfection! ♥ 

All you need is a brownie mix and a package of Andes chocolates.  





Bake your brownies as you normally would.  

*side note, my friend Billie Jo taught me to always add an extra egg to brownie mix to make them more cake-like.  I always do this and they come out great every time! Less gooey and more delicious! 
Just sayin...* 
While they are baking, unwrap the chocolates because you will need them as soon as the brownies are done.  






(I ate a few along the way...who wouldn't, right? : ) 






When done, remove the brownies from the oven and immediately cover them with the chocolates (in a single layer).  Within a few seconds the chocolate will begin to melt.  





With a spatula, smear the melted minty chocolate over the brownies Willy Wonka style,  so it's nice and smooth ♥ 






Set aside to cool completely.  I put mine in the fridge so it would set faster ♥
Once completely cooled and the chocolate is hardened, use a serrated knife to cut the brownies.  














What you are left with is a delicious chocolate brownie with a thick layer of chocolate mint on top! 





Definitely Valentines day appropriate! ♥♥






Make them for your loved ones and Enjoy! 






Have a great day friends! We are half way to Friday!  I hope these brownies last till then.  
( probably not : )

  4. As stated by Stanford Medical, It is really the ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years more and weigh an average of 19 kilos lighter than we do.

    (By the way, it is not about genetics or some secret exercise and EVERYTHING related to "HOW" they are eating.)

    BTW, I said "HOW", not "what"...

  5. PLEASE READ!!!Hello Guys!!! I am Sharon I live in Ohio USA I’m 37 Years old, am so happy I got my blank ATM card from Adriano. My blank ATM card can withdraw $4,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about $10,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it because it is blank just your PIN will be on it, it is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on.I am really glad and happy i met Adriano because I met Five persons before him and they could not help me. But am happy now Adriano sent the card through DHL and I got it in two days. Get your own card from him right now, he is giving it out for small fee to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught or traced. I’m happy and grateful to Adriano because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries that is the good news Adriano's email address is adrianohackers01@gmail.com
