Mug Brownie Trial and Error

I do love me some Betty Crocker Warm Delights bowls. Mmmmmm..... And the husband loves brownies, but only when they are fresh from the oven. And he wants more than just that little bowl. He eats a few brownies, then I eat the rest of the pan over the next two (if even that) days. We're talking a 9x13 pan here. Not the little one. Nope. That would be just too easy.

So I saw this great idea that you could put brownie mix in a mug and add some water and you could have an instant brownie from the microwave. Well, yeah. That didn't work out so well.

Two of the three mugs there have been in the sink all day soaking trying to get the hardened mass of burnt sugar out of them. One of them still has the fork stuck in it! And the third, well, that was a darned good brownie from the microwave.

cake mix cookies

used this recipe here for cake mix cookies.  i think this is **the** easiest recipe for cookies i have ever tried.  and they are actually really good!  last week i made them with a dark chocolate cake mix.  i had to add an extra egg and an extra 1/4 cup of water, but they were great.  very chocolatey, nice and soft and not a bit cake-like as i had thought.  tonite i am using a yellow cake mix with about 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/4 cup of water mixed in the recipe also.  then i am putting chocolate chips on top :-) yum nummy!
