I haven’t posted about our 2nd Annual Minute to Win It Party<\/a> yet because I decided it would probably be a good idea to get permission for posting photos of my friends doing silly games.\u00c2\u00a0 My post about last year’s party<\/a> has been really<\/em> popular in the search engines (totally wasn’t expecting that!) and one of the most read posts on my blog, so I wanted to make sure my friends were cool with me using photos of them holding noodles in their mouth, tennis racquets between their knees, and wearing silly hats!\u00c2\u00a0 I hope to have a post on that sometime soon.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, here’s a recipe for the brownies I made for the party.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been flipping past this recipe for over a year every time I looked in my recipe binder for a dessert.\u00c2\u00a0 Not sure why.\u00c2\u00a0 I LOVED these brownies!!\u00c2\u00a0 Similar to kitchen sink cookies, these brownies are chock full of all kinds of good stuff like cinnamon, chocolate chips, pecans, toffee bits, and coconut.\u00c2\u00a0 They freeze well too!\u00c2\u00a0 I know this photo isn’t the greatest….I snapped these as an afterthought when the party was well underway! \u00c2\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
