I am going to start highlighting some of my favorite things on a regular basis. Random stuff I have decided life is too short to live without. The first one is a new one to me.   Friends brought it over recently for poker night.   I don’t remember my poker chip count at the end of the night, but I remember that I ate 6 of these. Yep, these are so good they distracted me from poker.

cookie barsThey are Betty Crocker’s Supreme Bars Mix – Cookie Brownie.

Yes, Betty was certainly on the right track when she decided to COMBINE brownies and cookies. Win-Win. It is a boxed mix that takes about 50 minutes to complete.   The only downside is that you have to mix the brownie mix and the cookie mix separately which takes a few extra minutes and messes up an extra bowl…but totally worth it. I made some tonight and they smell so heavenly in the oven that this happened…

His obsession didn’t end at the oven door…

boy watching cookie bars coolThe cookie bars were a big hit.

The boys loved them. I was able to restrain myself and only ate one very large piece so there are a few crumbs for tomorrow’s lunch.
Betty Crocker Supreme Bars Mix – Cookie Brownie with Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – I found it at Target on the aisle with all the dessert mixes.

  1. I know your true dilemma is the temptation to eat the rest after your boys go to school so I’m sacrificing myself to help you out – feel free to drop the rest of the batch off at my house after dropoff 🙂

  2. I just remembered I have a roll of cookie dough that I bought in a weak moment last week. Thanks to this post, I am having another weak moment and turning on the oven…

  3. It’s really really really mean that you put those pictures on the blog and I think that perhaps I will not come here and read any more.

    Until tomorrow.
