Spring Brownies Recipe Easter is right around the corner and with that comes a total sugar high with all the candy and baked goodness right? Here’s a super simple way to make a treat for the kids and company without breaking the bank and get all your supplies at your local Walmart (or other grocery store) for under $5.00 each or less. You can adapt this recipe to your families dietary needs as needed (sugar free, low sugar, gluten free, etc)

Shopping List:

Brownie mix of choice (eggs, vegetable oil, brownie mix)
Frosting or whipped topping
Edible Sixlets or baking pearls ($1.00 per package at Walmart, look on the grocery side with the cake mixes)
Cake Pan (rectangle or circular)

Directions:

Mix brownie mix and ingredients together. Then bake brownies per directions on the brownie mix box. (Temperature for oven may vary by location, so please adapt)
Let brownies cool slightly
For the topping you can use whipped topping or regular frosting and your choice of color dye (green is the one used above). You can change this color for every season and keep it fresh.
Add pearl sixlets to your liking

Brownies are pretty hard to mess up so this is a great recipe to let the kids help with and something even dads can do to surprise Mom with right? You can even chill the brownies for a hot summer day and add cool-whip on top instead of frosting.

Heavenly Honey Cinnamon Butter Recipe

Apr 13 by Paul Ivanovsky Leave a Comment

There comes a time in a Mommas life where it’s just easier to create something out of what is in the pantry. With that said, that’s the reason I created my own Honey Cinnamon Butter recipe. Because when you have a food craving it’s gotta be satisfied. I’m sure all you fellow foodies will understand!

As a busy Momma of multiple children it’s often times hard to just run up to Walmart and grab what I need. I know you totally get it 😉 Not only will I leave with what I went in for, but, come out with so much more!

On Sunday night I like to create a larger dinner for my family that I just don’t have the time for during the week. So I made the KFC Copycat Chicken Pot Pie recipe for dinner and REALLY wanted rolls with a Honey Cinnamon Butter to go along with it. It just sounds amazing and when you take a bite it’s like Heaven. Really. It’s that good!

So instead of running up to Walmart, in the cold, to get some cinnamon butter, I opted to try my hand at creating my own Honey Cinnamon Butter recipe. Guys, it turned out better than expected! In the past, I’ve made a cinnamon butter with powered sugar, but, wanted more of a texture in the bite. I opted for brown sugar (that’s what I had in the pantry!), unsalted butter, cinnamon and honey. I literally put it all into a large bowl and mixed it up until everything was blended well. I put the butter mixture into a small Pyrex dish and am able to use it whenever I want!

This morning I needed a super quick breakfast as I needed to get the kiddos out the door. With the snow on the ground it’s a freakin’ chore to get them loaded up and out the door on time. The first thing I saw was the Thomas English Cinnamon Raisin Muffins in the bread tray. I slid them into the toaster, slathered on my Heavenly Honey Cinnamon Butter Recipe and enjoyed a nice warm cup of coffee as I gathered my thoughts for today.

Friends. This is a really super simple recipe to make. If you aren’t a cook, don’t like to bake or just enjoy buying the store bought stuff, please try this recipe! It’s great on regular toast, pancakes and french toast.

So let’s get you started making the most Heavenly Honey Cinnamon Butter you’ve ever had!

1 stick (1/2 c) unsalted butter
1/3 c light brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Place all the ingredients into a large bowl.

2. With a mixer on medium blend together until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Store butter in a air tight container.

Enjoy 😉

Thank you to my beautiful wife Tiffany of My Litter for sharing this delicious recipe!
