Ingredients:
1  bag of mini marshmallows
10 cups Trix cereal
1/4 cup butter

Place the butter and marshmallows in a glass bowl and pop in the microwave for about 2 to 3 minutes to melt ~ I just did it on the stovetop Stir well. Mix in your trix and stir.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough topped Brownies

If you're a fan of raw cookie dough you will love these {and there are no eggs so it's safe to eat}!! I had to hurry and get the cookie dough part on the brownies before I ate the whole bowl! I got the recipe from a dear sweet lady in our ward who made these for a Young Women Activity ~ Kim Arzola! The girls gobbled them right up! I managed to sneak one home to John and he loved them! They were quite easy to do so I made a bunch for a carnival at Halle's school! I am making more tomorrow night so I will snap a picture then!!

Start by making a box brownie mix of your choice, as directed, on the box. Let cool completely!
Then make the.....
Cookie Dough Topping
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 T. milk ( I use evaporated milk)
1 t. vanilla extract
1 c. flour
Mini chocolate chips {as much as you want}
Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour and mix well. Spread over cool brownies.
I made a cookie sheet full of these by using 2 brownie mixes and tripling the Cookie Dough Topping since I had to make quite a few! They were very yummy!
