s'mores and strawberry shortcake are great choices for spring cookouts. every once in a while it's good to switch things up. here is a quick and super easy idea for your next cookout. all you need is your favorite brownie mix, cupcake papers and spray frosting (which by the way are three of my favorite things). simply follow the directions to the brownie mix of your choice. instead of making them in the normal pan, use cupcake papers! this way, when they are finished you don't even have to cut them. you'll cut the cooking time down about 10 minutes, but since every oven is different- keep checking them.
you are welcome to stop here, or you can decorate them with a touch of frosting. if you're feeling extra creative, top the frosting with a small piece of candy- an m&m would be adorable. the mix that i used was enough for 12 cupcakes, so i used the extra mix to make a few mini brownies. the small ones seem to pop right in my mouth- but because of their tiny size, they don't carry all of that guilt!
Biggest tip of the day: notice picture #2- to fill the cupcake papers i always use an ice cream scoop. it's the easiest way to be sure they will all come out the same size. use that tip for muffins, cupcakes- you name it.
now invite your pals over for a cookout and enjoy the sunshine!
