Hungry Helpers

I love trying out new recipes especially ooey gooey desserts! The kids love pouring in the ingredients and watching the kitchen aid mixer stir them all up. But their favorite party is being the taste testers. Can you blame them?! I always love licking the bowl after pouring the contents into the pan to bake. This time we made Rocky Road Brownies. Isaiah is a very helpful 3 year old chef! He loves to put the sugar and flour in the mixing bowl "all by myself", he also just learned how to SLOWLY turn the mixing speeds up one notch at a time. :) I hope you enjoy the photos from our experience. This was a fun and easy recipe to make. I'd love to hear about how it turned out for you!!! Comment with your stories/pictures of your little ones making this recipe with you for a chance to win a prize from me!!!
