First, I want to start off with a brag-session on my husband. He is so sweet and smoochable. He taught the 15-17 year old sunday school class for the past few months, and last sunday was his last at church--however, the snow storm prevented him from seeing the kids--so tomorrow morning, bright and early, Tom is heading out to the two locations where seminary meets and delivering a gift and treat to his students. He had me make bookmarks for each kid. He picked out an individual scripture for each student, and also a personal message from him to them. He is so sincere in his love for these young adults...it just makes me want to squeeze and smooch him forever. He is such a good mand and role model for me and for our family. The cute thing about it is, he had it all planned out and then asked me if I could help him assemble the bookmarks (and of course, make yummy treats)
So I decided to make my rockin rocky road brownies I planned on making over Christmas, but didn't get the chance to...and let me tell you, these fudgy brownies are ROCKIN...
I've never made a homemade brownie before that tasted this good---way moister and fudgier than any box....super super yum-o
