Because Christmas Isn't Always What You Think It Should Be...

Dearest Pioneer Woman,

Oh how I envy you and all the beautiful food you make.

Today I thought to make these delicious mint brownie bites that you posted on your blog for my Dancing Girl's class party tomorrow...



I followed your directions to a T, reading each detail at least three times through.

I put them in the oven and I could smell their loveliness all throughout my little farmhouse.

And when the timer went off I could hardly contain my excitement.

But when I opened the oven....

MY_OH_MY...

WHAT_ON_EARTH_HAPPENED_TO_MY_PRECIOUS_BROWNIE_BITES????

MMMM...

These don't look quite like your beautiful picture at the top of this post...



I can be an optimist if I try. So maybe I can salvage these and just kind of reshape them when they come out of the pan???? 

Maybe, just maybe I can get them to look like your perfect little brownie bites??

Then again....

Maybe not.



Oh Christmas, how I love thee even when my good intentions turn into a pile of chocolate madness on my cookie sheet. :)
