I made this for a Christmas party tonight. My grandma asked me if it was real, she says it looks to pretty to be real! I gave her a big hug and kiss and told her how happy she made me. She asked why, I told her I made it!

She said she seriously thought it was something my aunt put on the table to trick us. She's weird, but I love her LOL!
 
Glad it turned out. I was going to make for a party on the 19th, but weather caused it to be cancelled. I'm saving the ingredients to make it for the postponed party.
 
isn't it great when your cooking gets compliments like that? yay grandma and yay andrea!!

The funny thing was, my brownie stuck in the pan and came out in 2 pieces so i had to patch it back together... she still thought it was beautiful!

unfortunatly, no one ate it, but the bright side is... i brought it home and i'm enjoying it myself... in fact I think I'll have some now!
