RECIPE

CUPCAKE BROWNIES

Have you EVER made cupcake brownies?

Use your favorite brownie mix or recipe,

and bake in muffin/cupcake pans!

I made these delicious treats with...

Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie Mix

With Hershey's Cocoa Frosting

and

Edible Decorations:

M&M Easter Speck-tackular Eggs.

My friend says, "Mrs. Crocker" instead of Betty Crocker!

He says it's to show respect.

ME: "You know she's not a real person, right?!"

Betty Crocker is a cultural icon, a brand name,

and trademark of American Fortune 500 corporation

General Mills.

Betty got her name (in 1921), a signature, a voice (in 1924),

and a face (in 1926) for an official portrait.

Betty Crocker had her own radio show in 1924,

the debut of America's first cooking show.

One public opinion poll rated her as the

second most famous person in America

after Eleanor Roosevelt.

Beautiful & Delicious! I always like the sides of the brownies when baked in a 13 x 9 inch pan - so you get plenty of "edges/sides" when baking brownies in muffin/cupcake tins! Copyright 2014 Marcia Norwood

Presentation

I shopped Hobby Lobby, Deals, Dollar General,

Target and Hy-Vee for baggies and boxes to create

a beautiful, fun and safe presentation for gifts.

I love paper.

I love paper, and boxes, and bags.

BAKE cake according to box directions in a 9 x 13 inch pan.

in a medium sauce pan over medium heat on stove top.

ADD JELL-O packet to boiling water,

and STIR until completely dissolved.

Then STIR in 1 CUP of cold water.

Using a fork, POKE holes in the cake.

POUR JELL-O evenly over the top of the cake.

COVER cake,

and PLACE in refrigerator for three (3) hours.

COMBINE:
