Made for PAC Spring 08 These were really good! I brought them to a party and everyone liked them. They taste like brownies. They did crumble a bit on me but I think it's because I did not cool them the way the directions said to. I think next time I make these I will try using milk chocolate rather then semi sweet (just personal tastes). Very tasty and loved! Thanks so much we will make again!

Probably the first thing you should know about me is that I love dogs. I know a lot about them, and can tell you a lot about the different breeds that there are.
I am very shy around people I don't know, but once I get to know you, I'm a very nice person.
In my spare time, I like to read, watch TV, and surf the Internet.
My other interests include horses (includes horses in general, horseback riding, and horse racing), shopping (especially at Barnes & Noble!), puzzles, horror movies, collecting Beanie Babies, MySpace, Facebook, going to the State Fair, taking pictures, taking video with my videocamera, scenery, swimming, and Mad Libs.
A special talent that I have is that I can name all the winners of the Kentucky Derby, from when it began in 1875 to the present. I'm the only person I know who can do this. It just goes to show you that I love horse racing. :-)
