Irises and Double Decker Brownies

Happy Memorial Day!

I drug the family over to the cemetery to look and remember

those who have fought and died to make us free-

they don't enjoy cemeteries as much as I do,

but I think all the history is so interesting!

 

Anyways, today I'm sharing with you a lovely

bouquet of irises that our neighbor lady

brought over last week.  What a sweet surprise!

They made the whole house smell good.

 

 

I think this violet colored frilly iris was my favorite... I think-

they were all so pretty!

 

Of course I had to use my iris tea cup!

 

And I couldn't resist a Double Decker Brownie-

the recipe is below.  It works very well if you are

on a gluten free diet too, since they don't take much flour.

 

Double Decker Brownies

 

1/2 c. butter

3/4 c. white sugar

2 eggs

3/4 c. flour or gluten free baking mix

2 T. cocoa

1/2 t. baking powder

6 oz. chocolate chips

1 c. peanut butter

1 1/2 c. Rice Krispies cereal

2 c. miniature marshmallows

 

Mix together butter, sugar, and eggs.  Blend in flour/baking mix, cocoa, and baking powder.  Place in greased 9x13 pan.  Spread evenly and bake at 350 for 20 min.  Remove and sprinkle miniature marshmallows on top.  Return to oven for 3 minutes.  Let cool.  After bars are cooled, mix the chocolate chips and peanut butter and melt over low heat or in the microwave.  Add cereal and then spread on cooled bars.
