Apple Butter Brownies and a Cookie Exchange?

Ummmm when did December get here... no really... when did this happen??

We had the brunettes last week so it's about time we have some brownies right? Remember that Musselmans Apple Butter I was telling you about? Well once I made the brunettes with it I had to make up a batch of brownies using it as the base... WOW so glad I did because these things came out AMAZING!


Super fast to whip up these will have people drooling for more.

Now onto that cookie exchange! I had a bunch of you asking if I was hosting one this year and the short answer is YES! Now the longer answer is when do you want to send cookies??

Would you take part in the cookie exchange?
Yes but only if I get cookies before Dec 25th
Yes but only if I can mail them after New Years
Either way I'm IN!!!!
