Sweetness in a Jar


I've never tried baking in canning jars until now.  Let me just say...FUN!!!

This is a recipe I found online @ http://ourbestbites.com/ and it should have been baked in 4oz, wide mouth, half pint jars, for ease of eating, but I figured anyone would be willing to "dig" for this sweet treat!

Ok...let's get started, shall we?


Basic Ingredients


Mixing Cocoa and Flour



Melted Butter and Semi-Sweet Chocolate


Added to Flour/Cocoa and Mixed


Poured into 8oz Half Pint Jars
Into the Oven They Go


Meanwhile...Pepperment Ganache
To DIE For!!


A Layer of Ganache After the Brownie Cupcake has Baked and Cooled


Frosted with THE BEST Whipped Cream Frosting I Have Ever Made!
Not Too Sweet, as Not to Take Away from the Ganache and Brownie

Now, I did not have the proper piping tip, so it's not as pretty as it could have been, but...who REALLY cares, right?


Ok...so the pic isn't great, but I could hardly contain myself waiting to inhale that bite...
Oh, YEAH!

Try it. You'll LOVE it!
Merry Christmas!

A Sweet Surprise


My soon to be daughter-in-law, Tracie, surprised me tonight with a blueberry pie she made...just for me!!! I was taking a nap, due to a bad headache and my son came in and woke me up for this. She is the sweetest girl and I am so excited to have her as a daughter and the fact she can bake like this makes her even sweeter!

Look at those blueberries...and that crust was so flakey. I'm all about a good crust. I hope this inspires you to bake a pie or find someone sweet to do it for you!

Bon Appetit!
