So I was just craving chocolate one day and came up with this recipe. It was my dream -- a chocolate dream filled with heavenly flavors. This dessert is basically like dirt pudding minus the cream cheese with the added surprise of brownies! You heard me right! Who wants to go to chocolate heaven with me? Here's what you'll need: Oreos (1 whole package!) Chocolate pudding (mix + 3 cups of milk) Brownie mix (mix + eggs + water + oil) Whipped cream (sugar + heavy whipping cream) Crush all the Oreos in a large Ziplock bag. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Layer 2/3 of the crushed Continue Reading

Holiday Cookies: Surprise Brownies
Have you been following along with all my holiday series? In the Holiday Cookie series, I've shared recipes for Grasshoppers and Swirl Butter Cookies. Today is Surprise Brownies!

You can make them for Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day -- whenever Continue Reading
Dirt Pudding Without Cream Cheese
You wouldn't think a dessert with the word dirt in it would be good. But dirt pudding is not just good, it's great. This has been one of my favorite snacks/desserts since probably second grade! I make this recipe a little different from most. I like the Oreo part best, and I don't like cream cheese at all. I also don't like gummy worms in mine; I think it totally takes away from the wonderfulness of this dessert. So I add extra Oreos and take out the cream cheese altogether. And it still tastes amazing, even without gummy worms. Here's my recipe for dirt pudding without cream Continue Reading
Triple Mint Marshmallow Oreo Brownies
Sometimes I just get in the mood to cook/bake. I say sometimes, because other times I'm in the exact opposite mood. I'd rather do anything than cook or bake. But when you get something like Oreo brownies, I'm all about whatever it takes to make them so I can eat them! When I am in that in-the-kitchen-housewife-wearing-an-apron-kind-of-mood, I really like trying new recipes that I find on Pinterest. And I enjoy sharing the final product with friends, family and co-workers. And I think they enjoy it too! How delicious does that look?! Last summer, I tried what I'm calling Triple Mint Continue Reading
