Well, we are halfway through October folks.
Can you believe it?
Want to know something that is major crazy? We're only halfway done with traveling this month. GASP. Does this ever happen to you? We swear we are good about balancing our travel schedule so it’s not so lopsided, but this month, we apparently swam too long in the giggle juice because of WHOA.
Don’t get us wrong, we love traveling, but sometimes we forget the amount energy it takes to do re-entry only to turn around in a few days and do it all over again. We knew October would be bonkers, but sometimes we trick myself into thinking that being gone four weekends in a row is okay. Derrrrrr…. maybe not?
Well to keep our grumpy-grumperton self at bay, we decided to make this Chocolate Chip Brownie Snack Cake. Because sometimes you don’t have time for dessert so why not enjoy it as a snack? Actually, shouldn’t all cake be snack?
This recipe was inspired from the Cooking Light Magazine and we have to say, it’s two-snaps up. Traditionally, it was meant for Halloween purposes, but we jazzed it with some mini chocolate chips and dusted it with extra powdered sugar to make it more of an every day, every hour kind of cake. Plus, it freezes well, which makes yours truly a happy travel camper.
