I am a bad blogger.
Hello intar-webs.
Here is what I've made (and totally failed to share with you) recently:
1. Cake Pops. (For Maddie's birthday - YUM.) Recipe here. Obvs, I didn't make Halloween ones... I made octopus cake pops! ^_^
2. Chocolate Failure Pie. I made it and immediately contracted (contacted? shit, I always forget which word fits here) deathvirus o' DOOOOOM, thereby making it totally impossible to eat any sugar for like a week. Then I accidentally froze it solid and had to thaw it out. Also I ruined my mom's best saucepan. Oh, and by the time The Brother ate it, it had fermented. No, I'm not going to give you the recipe because trust me you do not want it.
I made the Brother pix message me when he ate the pie.
"It looka likea da poop."
"Ole poop."
This kid is crazy funny. Also, I am apparently 6 years old because I cannot stop laughing.
3. Cake pops again, for Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve's engagement. :D
(They look like the cake pops above except in purple & white. Also, no octopi.)
4. Chocolate-chip Blondies. SUPER GOOD OMG. I forgot to take pictures :( But I'll post the recipe tomorrow. Or maybe Saturday. I promise.
5. Possibly something else? I forget. All the sugar is affecting my memory. ;)

A-heh, heh, ugh. S'mores bars yum!
Sorry I've been MIA... I swear I keep meaning to update ya'll and life goes OH NO YOU DI'INT! *snaps fingers in Z formation* And then I'm all, "Bitch, PLEASE" and it just goes downhill from there.
So, uh...yeah.
Update! :D
So last weekend I made S'mores bars - little bite-sized s'mores that you cook in the oven and they are SO RICH OMG.
I got this recipe from bakingbites.com - check it out, they're quite a good recipe site.
You will need:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar (oops I didn't even use this oh well it was still sweet times a million)
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 king-sized milk chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows) (I used about 1 jar of marshmallow fluff)
1 jaunty hat.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan like you're Danny Zuko and your hair ain't cooperating.
Aww yeah.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Whatever that means.
Beat in egg and vanilla (because it isn't abuse if they like it).
Take about 7 full-size graham cracker sheets and crumb them. How, you ask? Well, I reply dashingly, simply pop them in your food processor which everyone on the planet of course owns and... what's that you say? You're an utter rube and you don't seem to own a food processor? Why, my dear child, this is an outrage! An utter... oh, wait. I don't have one, either. Stick some graham crackers in a baggie and take a rolling pin and crunch em up til they're fine likeyour mom sand.
If you want (and are totes OCD, like me), you can even sift them into the bowl so as to remove any not-fine graham cracker crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.
Of course, I forgot to take a picture.
Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.
It'll be hella, mega, super thick.
Divide dough in half.
Look, lungs! Or maybe kidneys.
Press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan.
"Even" is a relative term here.
Place chocolate bars over dough. 2 king-sized Hershey’s bars fit perfectly.
Product placement product placement product placement
Spread chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff.
There is nothing natural in this container.
It even tried to eat me! *shiver*
Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff (most easily achieved by flattening the dough into small shingles and laying them together).
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, untillightly browned it looks like a rocky tundra.
Cool completely before cutting into bars or wait about 10 minutes for the temperature to decrease from magma to raging inferno and dig in with a spoon. ;)
Big yum.
Makes 16 cookie bars, or a hell of a lot more if you cut them bite-sized.
I swear swear swear I will be better about posting this week, okay intar-wubs? Big promise.
