SHARON'S MOM'S BLONDE BROWNIES

 

We have been in Colorado Springs for an early Christmas with  our older son Jeffrey and his family. It was so good to see them as it has been since January that we saw them. 

Since we were gone over the weekend that meant I wasn't here Sunday for the Cafe Treats at church, but I left everything in good hands with friends, Charlotte and Adam. Adam sent me pictures of everything so I would have a picture to go along the recipes.

Sharon treated everyone with two kinds of brownies... Chocolate ones and her mother's old recipe for Blonde Brownies. She tweaked the recipes to make them festive and Christmassy. I have been told they were really a big hit. I know that they looked yummy in the picture. She doubled her mother's recipe to make more and added red and green M & M's to the batter. She also added some sprinkles to the top of the baked brownies as soon as she took them out of the oven. I love the little white flower or snowflake ones.

The chocolate brownies were made from a dark chocolate brownies box mix and added sprinkles to the top as soon as she took them out of the oven. Sharon also said she added the M & Ms to them also. She said she often adds things to recipes but doesn't measure the ingredients. She just adds until she thinks it looks right. So I have tried to recreate her treat as best as I can.
