Halloween Snack Mix

Snack mixes are definitely the way to go when feeding a group of hungry kids. Sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy, a little of everything is sure to please a crowd. After a recent soccer game, I passed out this Halloween Snack Mix to team of six and seven year old hungry boys. It was a total hit! My favorite little soccer player is still requesting more :)

4 cups Chocolate Animal Crackers
4 Cups Pretzels
4 cups Cheez-its
2 cups Chex Cereal
2 cups Raisins
1 1/2 cups Peanuts
1 cup Candy Corn
1 bag Reese’s Pieces

Mix it all up and serve!

Triple Chocolate Brownie Bars

5 Comments Posted by Allie

After I had my first baby, several friends brought over meals during the following week. One of those meals arrived with a box of chocolates. On the card was written, “every woman who just gave birth deserves a box of chocolate”. Well, I couldn’t have agreed more!

This little rule is one that I have never forgotten. When I am delivering meals to new moms, I always make sure to include a little chocolate. A mommy friend of mine recently delivered her third baby boy, these Triple Chocolate Brownie Bars were most definitely deserved!

Triple Chocolate Brownie Bars

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 cups chocolate chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

20 Oreo cookies

Preheat oven to 350.

Line an 8 x 8 cake pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time and mix to combine.

then stir in vanilla.

Add in cocoa powder and mix well.

Add flour and salt,

stir until batter is smooth and comes together.

Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Spread in the 8 x 8 pan.

Sink 9 Oreo cookies into the batter and press gently.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.

While baking, crush the remaining Oreos in a ziplock bag.

When brownies are finished baking, remove from the oven

and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chocolate chips and crushed Oreos.

Place back in the oven for about 2-3 minutes.

During this time, melt remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter together.

Remove brownies from oven and pour melted chocolate mixture over the top.

Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly.Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Let brownies sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting.

Summer is filled with the simplest of pleasures: sunshine, swimming, popsicles, barefeet, barbecues, late nights. The memories made during the summer months last far beyond the heat of August.
