While killing time before some baby portraits, I was rummaging through mom and dad's pantry. I found the double chocolate Ghiradelli brownie mix. OH BOY! (I'm in Wichita doing portrait/photo stuff this weekend, but have had a LOT of down time).
I carefully read the box, and assembled the ingredients, INCLUDING EGGS (this was my downfall last time).
Being of the Mikols family tree, I couldn't just make brownies from a box. I had to jazz them up a bit. ;-) How does one do that? By adding a cup of dried crasins, of course! Because what could be better than chocolate + crasins? I can't think of ANYTHING!
YUMMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and the *best part* of this whole recipe is that mom said she found the brownie mix for $1.25 at Aldi!!!!!! Seriously!
So you see, I don't suck so bad at making brownies from a box! There is hope, after all!
And ... also in our family today, Erik is at home and is gearing up to fire up the George Foreman someone gave us as an awesome wedding gift!
Neither E nor I have owned one of these before, but when he saw me cook chicken on it last week, he was a little disappointed I didn't leave some chicken for HIM to cook b/c it looked like so much fun. SO in my absence, E is firing up the grill tonight.

Awesome brownies! And I like the craisins in them. I may have to try out your recipe soon. Thanks for sharing some.

You're totally welcome, Angie! Next time, I think I'm going to soak the crasins overnight so they're plump and juicy. But live and learn, eh?
