Slutty Brownies


After seeing countless pictures of Slutty Brownies on Instagram and Pinterest, I had to try them out for myself. Even though there are 3 components to this sinfully delicious treat (cookies, Oreos, and brownies), they are one of the easiest things I’ve ever baked.
When my mother asked me what I was baking and I replied slutty brownies, she looked at me like I had six heads—why did I just refer to my brownies as being ‘slutty’? I figure the reason is because sometimes you are just not perfectly content with one of these goodies like Oreos, and need at least two more things like brownies and cookies to fully satisfy your sweet tooth. 
While some people might think the combination of these three things will be overwhelmingly sweet and taste gross, it does not. Who ever thought of this idea was a genius because I could not stop eating them.
To make this trendy treat you will need a 9 x 9 inch baking pan lined with foil. Then get two packages of Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough and cover the bottom of the pan with it to make the first layer (you can make your own cookie dough if you’d like, but buying it pre-made makes it go a lot faster). For the second layer, place Oreo’s side-by-side covering the cookie dough. Then make brownies from whatever mix you like and pour it on top of the Oreos and cookie dough for the third layer. Bake this in a 350-degree oven for about 40 minutes and your done! Enjoy!

Effortless Birthday Bliss


Not everybody has the time and energy to make a decadent ten-layer chocolate cake, iced with chocolate ganache and topped with sprinkles for their best friend’s birthday. These no-bake Funfetti Truffles are a quick and efficient alternative that will still make your best friend’s day extra sweet. They take about 20 minutes to make, and then you can just let them sit in the refrigerator until you’re ready to give them to the honorary birthday girl or boy.  

The outside appearance of these Pintrest inspired cake balls resembles a party all on its own.  The rainbow sprinkles and drizzled milk chocolate against the white chocolate looks irresistible, but biting into one might be even better. They taste just like funfetti cake batter, who doesn’t love that?

These truffles are not just limited to birthday occasions. Add different colored festive sprinkles (like red and green for Christmas) when you know you won’t have a lot of time to prepare something during those stressful and chaotic holiday's. 


In order to make these effortless truffles you will need:
1 cup Pillsbury funfetti cake mix, 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons milk

In order to make the outside look like an edible celebration you will need:
Rainbow sprinkles, Hershey’s chocolate syrup, 1 box of Baker’s premium white chocolate baking squares

Directions:
Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl and then scoop the mixture into balls (any size you desire) and place them on to a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Place the balls in the fridge while you melt your white chocolate baking squares. 

Take the balls out of the fridge and dip each one into the white chocolate using a spoon so that they become fully coated. Once all the balls are fully coated and placed back on to the baking sheet, drizzle them with the Hershey’s chocolate syrup. Add the finishing touches by showering the balls with rainbow sprinkles, and enjoy!
