Dani's Recipe Creations (2024)

Agreat friend of mine at work had her birthday last week. I asked her what shewould like me to bake for her. She couldn't decide whether she wanted browniesor cookies she told me to pick one. So I was trying to think of something to doand then I remembered seeing a pin on Pinterest with both cookies and brownies.It had no name on the post so I didn't know what to call them and from thepicture you get the idea of how to make it. So all I had to do was figure out aname for it. I gave it the name "Reese Brookie Cupcake." I changedone thing about it from the original picture; I cooked mine in a cupcake panand used a full sizeReese'speanutbutter cup. Plus it totally works because my daughter’s nickname is"Brookie." I wanted to have peanut butter in every bite not just thecenter. If you love brownies, cookies and peanut butter cups. This is a musttry treat!

This is how you layer the cookie, buttercup & brownie.

They taste so darn good, you must try these at least once. If you can't bake have someone do it for you.

What Ya'll Need:
1NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE36 oz. Tub.1 Jumbo BagReese's Snack Size Treats Chocolate, 19.5 oz (26 count)1Pillsbury Brownie Classics Traditional Fudge Brownie Mix, 19.5 oz

What to Do:Preheat oven to 350.Usinga tablespoon scoop out a heap of cookie dough and press in the cupcake pan. Place aReese'sbuttercup on top of cookie then scoop brownie mix on top just to coverbuttercup. Bake for 16*18 minutes checking and watch top of brownie to not over cook edges.

**Cooking Note: Make sure the cookie dough covers bottom. Only fill the cupcake pan about 3/4 full. Once you pull the cupcakes out let them cool in the pan so that it gives the cupcake time to set so it makes it easy to pull out of pan.

I posted my recipe for Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Jalapenos already but I wanted to share this added recipe idea with ever get a chance give this one a try. The little smokies give a nice flavor to the jalapenos. My husband loves this one and I have to say so do I! My mother-in-law gave me this idea she had made them once but stuffed a whole smoky inside a whole stuffed jalapeno. This is a great appetizer for any party or just for two, like my husband and I.

When following the steps to my Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Jalapenos recipe just add the halved smokies to the cream cheese wrap with bacon and bake or grill.

**Cooking Tip: You could use the whole smokie I cut mine in half so that its easy to bite in to when eating.

I normally don't eat any type of egg, potato or noodle salads. I don't like a cold egg, potato or noodle nope, I'll pass. I only recently was alright with trying a potato salad at a family gathering because my husband said it tasted like a deviled egg, which I love. So I gave it a try and loved it. I went looking all over for a recipe and couldn't find one that was just simple and easy. I figured why not just take the two and mix and see how it tasted. It was a match made in heaven. I now can say I have a deviled egg potato salad recipe of my own.

Deviled Egg Potato Salad

This is probablygoing to be my mostmeaningfulpost ever. My daughter Brooke asked me if she could make a cake. I wanted to do something fun and so I remembered how great a cake was that I use to eat a lot when I was doing weight watchers. It was fun becauseyou get to play a little with the cake mix as you make it.So Brooke and I made a Diet Dr.Pepper Cake. I know people always talk about how a co*ke is more important but trust me when I say the flavor is still there. I also came across a sugar free mix they have now and so it made this cake even better. I hope y'all enjoy my pictures. Brooke had fun and was happy sofor me that's just life's greatest gift!

This is what I used for the cake. Simple and so Yummy!

Brooke shifting the cake mix to get the lumps out before we add the Dr.Pepper.

Make a small hole in center of cake mix before adding the dr.pepper.

This helps add height to the cake. let it fully bubble then mix together.

Here is Brooke and I mixing the cake mix.

This is what it should look like once its completely stirred.

Brooke said taste good.. She wanted to eat before we cooked it!
