Yesterday Tia was literally BEGGING me to bake a cake. I assured her that today would be a better choice since it would be chilly and rainy. Baking is good on rainy days. I held her off only by having her help me choose the recipe we would make.
She chose Peanut Butter Brownie Babies, which we've never made before. Now, you know I try my best to make everything 'healthy', so I bought a fat free brownie mix. For the filling we used all natural (no added junk) peanut butter, reduced fat cream cheese, and splenda. Hey, I have to at least try, right?

| ooh, they look so good! |
They had to bake for 30 minutes and I lost count of how many times I heard "Mom, are they done yet?".
The recipe called for a squirt of whipped cream on top and a marascino cherry. We skipped the cherries because my kids won't eat them.

We ended up with 15 brownie babies. The kids and I each had one. Well, Tia had half of one and quickly lost interest. I think she views baking as an activity, and not a treat (she's not from this planet). Now, who is going to eat the dozen I have left?
If you're interested, come on over, they're in the freezer!
