I'm giving these away, tonight!!

I love to make treats and I love even more to eat them for breakfast the next day. This is a problem. My solution is, as soon as I wake up and take a little bite, I quickly turn on the faucet and throw the pan of cookies, brownies or whatever under the water and my temption is destroyed, just like that. I realize this is kind of a waste so I have come up with an alternative to this wasting of yummies. I have a million recipes bookmarked that I would love to try, but I don't want to make dessert every night of the week. Tonight we are having a little girls night, cousin slumber party with my girls and their cousins, of course my first thought was, what is for dessert? I had two recipes I couldn't decide between so I made them both, ridiculous, I know. I don't have a football team here tonight, just a few little girls with small appetities. So, onto my solution. I made up two plates of my treats and the first two people to leave a comment get them.

Rule 1: You must live in my neighborhood, you know if you do. I will be watching my comments and they will be delivered soon. This give a way closes at 10 pm. If I get no comments, these will be put to death under the kitchen faucet first thing in the morning. I think I better stick to my protein drink for breakfast.
Rule 2: Cari J, you are not eligible. I still have your plate from the Cinco De Mayo flan you so graciously shared with me and it is currently full of these. I am embarassed I still have the plate two months later, I could only return it if it was full of sugar. We tried to delivered them once and will try again soon to see if you are home.

Here is what we made:

If you are interested in the recipes, click here for the smores brownies and here for the peanut butter fudge treats. They are both yummy, very, very sweet. Hopefully not too sweet for you.

Look for more give-a-ways like this to come. I have found a way to try new recipes and make my old favorites without completely destroying any sort of diet I may try to adhere to. I can still have a taste without eating the WHOLE pan. And don't think I haven't done that before. Thanks for helping save a girl some calories. Good luck, enjoy your unexpected dessert!

Shoot! I saw this post too late! If you have any morsels left in the morning, don't throw them away! We will gladly take them. They look so good!

Phew! I was beginning to think your neighbors were damn fools!

I need to know, for future giveaways...Do you disqualify people who are staying in your basement?

Amber said...

Good solution! We do the same thing with neighbors that live down the street!

I love S'more brownies!! My recipe is a little different, but I am sure they taste about the same!
