the bar snack blondie

This is it.

This is the post in which I tell you that I’m a selfish person, and have the evidence to prove it. This is the post in which you get a glimpse into the thoughts of my former seventeen-year-old brain (thankfully, said brain has matured some since). This is the post in which I may simultaneous disgust/ confuse/ and impress you. The is the post in which I present you with what I have proudly dubbed “The Bar Snack Blondie.” (This is also the post in which I audaciously throw the word “the” in front of a recipe name, evidently.)

BUT we are talkin’ pretzel crust, smoked almond blondie, toasty potato chip top and chocolate drizzle. Bar Snack Blondie isn’t enough; the “The” is necessary.

So yes, this is that post.

The 7 Deadly Sins Eating Habits of A This College Student:

1. Panini topped with Sour Cream & Onion chips  (noms x10)
2. Eating straight from the pint of Ben & Jerry’s froyo (no shame lots and lots of shame)
3. Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds – dry – after hitting the gym (epitome of logic)
4. Rice Krispies for breakfast, lunch, or dinner
5. Pizza after midnight
6. Frozen Back to Nature Fudge Mint Cookies (better than Thin Mints!)
7. Daily square of Lindt Touch of Sea Salt Dark Chocolate (addicted, much?)

Twas a healthy year, indeed.  (Let’s not even talk about finals week…)

truly “outrageous” brownies

As the inspiration for the name of this blog, brownies naturally have a certain sentimental value for me. They remind me of my best friends – our late nights crowded around the TV watching Law and Order: SVU, our candid conversations, and our tendency to drift off into a light sleep after finishing off a warm, comforting square of chocolate-y goodness.

But these brownies – this recipe. They are extra special to me.

I am very much a creature of habit.

Daily routines, favorite foods, clothing styles, music preferences . . .

It’s all so predictable.

Remember my first post about brownies?

Seven months later and I’m back at it again.  Dense, chocolatey, decadent brownies with a perfectly-cracked top “crust.” 

Oh yeah, now this is a dessert!
