"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together" - Marilyn Monroe

♥Chocolate and Peanut Butter Marbled Brownies♥

This recipe is so delicious. If done right you can have the best brownies that you ever tasted. And best of all its made from scratch!


Cooking Utensils Needed 
 Mixer
Measuring Cup/Spoons
Greased 9x13 inch baking pan
1 medium size bowl and one Large size bowl 

Prep
Preheat oven to 350
Grease your 9x13 inch baking Pan

Peanut Butter Mixture
6 ounces of cream cheese(Softened)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk

In a medium size bowl add your cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, egg, and milk. You'll need to beat all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth. Set the bowl aside because you need this after you finish your brownie mixture.







For this recipe I used my favorite peanut butter, White Chocolate Wonderful by Peanut Butter & Co that I purchased from my local Walmart.I swear this is the best peanut butter ever!

Brownie Mixture
3/4 Cup of butter (softened)
2.5 cups of sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

In your large bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, and vanilla. Mix in the 3 eggs, beating well.  

  

Finally add the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Mix into the chocolate batter.


Remove 1 cup of the chocolate batter to use to create the marble effect. Take the remaining batter and spread it into the greased pan.



Spread the peanut butter filling over the top of the chocolate mixture. 

Drop the left over chocolate mixture by the teaspoonful over the peanut butter filling. 

Using a knife, gently swirl through the top layers for a marbled effect but try not to mix it so much.


Finally you need to put your pan in the oven and let it bake for 30-40 minutes, certain oven times vary. To test whether its done you can insert a wooden toothpick near the center. If it comes out almost clean then its done. ENJOY♥

♥Sally Hanson Crackle Overcoat Review♠

This is the first time I’ve tried any Crackle Polish. I really like it. The application is super easy and it dries really fast. You can either put a thin layer on for a less thick look of the cracked parts. Or you can lay it on thick for a thicker looker. I prefer to apply the overcoat thick. It makes the crackle design stand out even more. I purchased it from Target a few weeks ago for about $6.00

♥Sinful Colors Review and Swatches♥

I really am obsessed with Sinful colors. They have so many colors to choose from and they are really inexpensive. I purchased quite a few from Walgreens recently and I thought I'd share the ones I liked the most. Overall the qualities of both polishes are pretty good. I noticed that the colors do start to chip quite fast, especially if you don’t use a top coat. I think it also depends on what you do with your hands. I know for me I wash dishes daily and that’s probably why I change my polish a lot.


Siful Colors: Hazard
This is Hazard. I Love this color. It’s almost like a peachy orange color. I love it. I think it’s a great spring, summer, and early fall color. 

Sinful Colors: Paradise
This is Paradise. This color is very bright and vibrant. I love how shiny the blue looks. It’s almost like a ocean blue.
