I like having friends over. Last week I had Dawn from Joyful Scribblings and this week...Katie from What Katie's Baking!! Katie is so creative and makes the most decedent desserts. You guys are going to love her! Everybody say - HI KATIE....
Hi! I'm Katie from What Katie's Baking. I'm so excited to be posting for Chelsea today. She's such an awesome blogger and she writes about my very favorite topic... desserts! (And oh my gosh, those Butterfinger Shortbread Bars she made...couldn't stop drooling.)
I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes with you guys. (I'm trying to impress you ;)). I created these brownies one day after a spark of creativity. I looove cake batter flavored desserts and I looove brownies, so I decided to mix the two. Why not, right? Well, I did, and created these bad boys. I guarantee if you make them and share them (you don't have to) with your friends and family, they'll love you forever! They're dense and fudgy and cake batter-y tasting... they're just good.
