Here are some pictures of my contributions to the cookie swap. Last year I made chocolate chip cookies, so this year I thought I'd try something different and make an ooey gooey chocolatey brownie bar thing. The recipe came from one of my favorite treat cookbooks called The Favorite Brand Name Bake Sale Cookbook. I included the recipe below just in case you feel like trying them out- they have peanut butter, chocolate, rice krispies, and brownies in them... so they're very rich and good!
Once we arrive at the cookie swap, we have to put three of our treats on a special plate to give to the judges. Then we all eat a delicious dinner prepared by Kaari and then we start loading our cute plates with cookies. When the judges are done taste testing the treats, they announce the winners and prizes are given out. After my plate is heaped high with treats, I always go home and share the goodies with Kevin. We usually make ourselves sick from all the sugar. It's a great tradition :-)
