I am back. I am sorry it has been so long since I last blogged. I had such high intentions of having a blog a week for the summer...that didnt happen. I have been sick for what feels like the whole summer. School starts Monday and I have not done half of the fun things I wanted to or baked nearly all the things I want to.
Texas Brownies are by far my favorite brownies. My mom made these for me growing up. They are a fluffy brownies with a light yummy frosting. My work is throwing yet again another amazing potluck and I always volunteer to be the one who makes the sweets. I figured peopel were getting a bit sick of cupcakes so I decided to make Brownies....Who doesn't love brownies especially ones with frosting. The only things they would make these brownies better would be to add a little ice cream.
I am always a bit scared when making my moms recipes for the first time. I get nervous that they wont taste as good as when she makes them... Lucky for everyone at work. These turned out just like when my mom makes them.
