Disappearing Brownies

This weekend was one of those weekends that I had little to no desire to cook. So naturally I baked. And baked enough to make sure I didn't have to cook. There is nothing wrong with brownies or cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is a holiday weekend afterall. 

I got this recipe from a friend and coworker years ago. She and her husband made their money operating gas stations and car washes in suburban Minneapolis. She was always good for a story about a family getting trapped in a broken car wash one Sunday after church. 

She called these blondies, "Disappearing Brownies", because, "I put them out and they are gone before I get one."

1/2 Cup Butter

1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour

2/3 C Brown Sugar

2 t Baking Powder

1/2 t Salt

2 Cups Mini Marshmallows

2 Cups Milk Chocolate Chips

1/4-1/2 C Chopped Nuts (optional)

Using back of rubber spatula press mixture evening throughout baking dish.

Personal preference - best served cold.

Push Ups, Marshmallows and Redemption

Check out my recent kitchen shenanigans with my friend Sarah over at yesandyes.org! We made marshmallows and did push ups.  Seriously.  Push ups in the dining room. We like to make the most of our time together.  And this totally makes up for the failure that was turkish delight a few weeks back.
