Peanut Butter Frosted Brownies

 

Awhile back I made thebestbrowniesever.  And then I made them even better.  And today I'm doing it again.  If you love peanut butter and chocolate you'll definitely want to try these. 

The frosting is not super peanut-buttery, but it complements these brownies perfectly.  They are pretty rich so you really can cut them into "small squares".

None of this "half-the-pan-qualifies-as-one-brownie, right?", necessary. 


Tell me you've done that too.

Milky Way Rice Krispy Treats

Have you seen all the Halloween candy appearing on store shelves?

Have you bought any yet?

Not me.

Once it's opened I can't stay away from it.

I always scoff at the price of the huge bag of candy at Costco, but by the time Halloween comes around I know I've already gone through at least that much.

It's too tempting!

If you got sucked into buying Halloween candy early, this is a great way to use it up and get it out of sight.  Normally I am not a huge Milky Way fan but I love these!  Gooey and caramely. 

Enjoy!

{Dirty Drinks} Dirty Diet Coke & Diet Raspberry Dr. Pepper

Have you heard of dirty drinks?  Soda with a shot of flavored syrup in them?

Dirty drinks are becoming increasingly popular where I live. The most famous being Dirty Diet Coke (Diet coke with lime and coconut).  However, there are so many yummy combinations!  I love raspberry in Diet Dr Pepper.  It has been my Sonic-drink-of-choice for awhile now.

My obscene collection of Torani syrups is due to dirty drinks. My husband laughs that I have a massive collection of "coffee syrups" when I don't even drink coffee.  Yes.  Hilarious.  I am fairly certain he thinks that if the apocalypse comes we will be surviving on sugar-free syrups.

I, personally, see no problem with this. 

I mean there's cupcake syrup and chocolate chip cookie dough syrup.

What more could one want?

Oh right, bacon.  There is bacon syrup as well.

Major food groups?  Covered. 

Anyways, these drinks are my go-to solution when I am craving sweets and know I shouldn't have any.  Zero calories, but such a treat! They are so much cheaper to make at home and you can have a lot of fun customizing them to your liking.

Afraid you'll never use that great big bottle of Torani?  Here are some other things I've made with mine:

Blueberry Lemon Spritzer
Fresh Citrus Fresca
Berry Spritzer

You basically needs lots of bottles!  Plus... they double as food storage!  ;)
