Kami's Donut Muffins


Well, folks, Coach Coombs has done it again. Melissa passed this recipe of Kami's on to me since Kami is the most domestic person I know/best baker of all time, I knew they'd be good. I made these little bites of delicious for a work potluck tomorrow and suffice it to say, I may have to make a new batch before work in the morning. I made them in a mini muffin pan and they're just so easy to pop in my mouth! These suckers are like crack.

Oh hello, worst iPhone picture of all time.

Melissa made these for her sister's shower the other day and I can just imagine how perfect they were. They're just the perfect little food for a brunch. I am having to talk myself out of walking back in to the kitchen right now...

Shannon's "To Die For" Brownies


Whoah baby. These bad boys are good. Especially if you're in the mood for chocolate, which I am. I snatched this recipe from Shannon's blog and then I cursed her for making this recipe known to me. I made a pan today to take with dinner to a friend who just had a baby and I'm afraid much of the pan isn't making it over there today. I just wish I had vanilla ice cream to complete this sinful treat.

To Die For Brownies
1 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa
2 TBS. honey
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 TBS baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 t. vanilla (I add more)

Melt butter in micro and then mix in the cocoa. Add in the rest of the ingredients. Grease a 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.

Chocolate Frosting
5 TBS butter
dash of salt
3 TBS milk
1/3 cup cocoa
1 TBS corn syrup
2 1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 t. vanilla
