Sometimes
you just want something sweet...
I
was running errands on Saturday. There are just things that you have
to get done. By the time I came home, all I was craving was a glass
of wine, a movie, and something really sweet. But, the wine and
movie became higher priorities...
Half
way through the very slow and slightly boring movie, I was craving
something sweet and decided to whip something up. I wanted a dessert
that would go well with wine and I didn't want to leave the apartment
to buy anything.
This
is what I came up with...
-a
graham cracker shell
-brownie
base
-caramel
frosting
-with
a chocolate drizzle.
Some
booze is thrown in for good measure.
Can
you say yes? This tastes amazing. (I know I say that about
everything I write up but I can't help it. I only post recipes that
I love.)
Enjoy!
