Thanks to Betty Crocker.... Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

I had Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies for dessert tonight. So... now that my butt is growing bigger, I thought I would share, so yours can grow bigger with mine. See what a good friend I am!
Brownie Base
1 box (1 lb 6.5 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box


Filling
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons milk


Topping
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan.)


2. In medium bowl, stir brownie mix, pouch of chocolate syrup, water, oil and eggs until well blended. Spread in pan. Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

3. In medium bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spread mixture evenly over brownie base. (Make sure your butter is REALLY soft. Mine wasn't so my mixture was really hard and sticky. My brownies ended up being completely flattened because I was pushing down too hard trying to spread the stuff!)

4. In small microwavable bowl, microwave topping ingredients uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds; stir until smooth. Cool 5 minutes, or so; spread over filling. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set. For brownies, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

What's a Daddy to do?

This is what happens when Daddy is in charge of bedtime and can't find the safety pin that keeps AM from stripping naked.

Such a Little Squirt

AM (I've just decided to use initials when talking about my kids) is really showing the stubborn side of her personality. She is bound and determined to be naked. In her honor we have a giant roll of duct tape sitting on her dresser. Her diaper has to be duct taped shut ALL THE TIME now. In the past few days she hasn't even been waiting for nap time to strip down. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that onesies weren't working anymore. I'm grateful that the poop I had to deal with was very minor. I know from hearing of friends experiences that it could have been MUCH worse.

Last night I went to tuck her in before going to be myself and found she had wiggled her arm out of her jammies. What does this girl have against clothes????

The stripper issues aside, she is a darling and fun girl. She has finally learned it is okay to cuddle a bit. I love it when she comes to me for a hug and lays her head on my shoulder. She hasn't done that since she was a tiny baby.
