Strawberry Cream Popsicles via Kristin Eldridge

These are so perfect for summer!

There’s not really a recipe.  I was just throwing stuff in the food processor until it tasted good!  I pureed strawberries until they equaled about one cup.  I use my mini-food processor.  You don’t want any big chunks, so puree away!  Whisk the strawberries into a half cup of strawberry yogurt, 3/4 cup of half and half and 1 teaspoon vanilla.  Depending on your sweet tooth, add between 2-4 tablespoons of agave (or sugar if you prefer).  Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds or paper cups if you don’t have molds.  I tried freezing them 2 hours and it was a disaster.  Freeze them over night.  I know it’s hard to wait, but just trust me on this one.  You want them frozen SOLID.

Yum!

Rocky Road Brownies - yum!  - Beautiful photography from The Gentle Baker Blog too!

One Bowl Rocky Road Peanut Butter Brownies
(slightly adapted from CookieMadness)

Ingredients

• 8 oz (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups A.P. flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the topping:

• 1 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
• 3 cups mini marshmallows
• 2/3 cups lightly salted peanuts (or broken graham crackers)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• extra chocolate for drizzling (optional, I used leftover blue candy melts I had lying around)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350`F. Line a 9x12 pan with nonstick foil.

1. In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter, then add cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Stir until chips are mostly melted and let it cool down for 5-10 minutes. When cooled add the sugar, flour, salt and mix by hand until incorporated. Crack in eggs two at a time, then beat in vanilla until everything is evenly distributed. Do not over-mix.
2. Pour into pan and bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Do not turn off the oven yet.
3. Warm peanut butter in microwave safe dish for 10 seconds and spread on brownies. Sprinkle marshmallows, chocolate chips and peanuts on top.
4. Put the brownies back into the oven for 5-6 minutes, until you see the marshmallows get puffy. Remove and drizzle with chocolate of your choosing.
5. Cool at room temp (you can wait a bit then stick it in the fridge for 30 minutes to speed up the process but I wouldn’t suggest any longer. I left mine in overnight - had to sleep some time! - and it turned the marshmallows a bit gummy)
6. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Fun for a bridal shower!
