A couple of weeks ago, Scott mentioned that there was an army thing we should *probably* go to. Some guy was having a cookout and there would be football games to watch and army wives would be present and all. I asked if we should take something. He said yes. I, because I'm incredibly unmotivated and lacking creativity these days, said I could make brownies. Boxed brownies.
I wandered the aisles of SuperTarget for 20 minutes and that's all I could come up with. The last thing I felt like doing was spending my Sunday making an elaborate dessert. And though this is my go-to appetizer, I didn't feel like transporting a hot dip.
Even though I took the easy way out of with boxed brownies, I did have the plan to make homemade frosting. This would kick the brownies up a notch and not make them taste quite so boxed. Though boxed brownies, slightly undercooked, are the best kind of brownies. I always add half a cup or so of chocolate chips to the batter to up the gooeyness factor.
