Try this Recipe for Sweet and Salty Brownies

Check out these sweet and salty brownies. When we think of the luscious chocolate bar known as brownies, we usually think of a chocolate snack food that is topped with icing or whipped cream.

This recipe is a little different. Rather than the traditional chocolate frosting, these brownies are topped with a mixture of salted peanuts and pretzels, moistened with agave. 

It's a yummy treat and well worth a try.

Recipe for Black and White Shortbread Cookies

This cookie recipe is colorful as well as yummy. It involves chocolate shortbread cookies and white shortbread cookies sandwiched together with red jam or jelly in the middle.

Since you use a cookie cutter to cut the Black and White Shortbread Cookies,  you can cut the cookies to suit any holiday, celebration or event.  Cut them with a shamrock and you have a great St. Patrick's Day cookie. For St. Paddy's Day, you could substitute the red filling with green icing if you wanted.

They're fine as they are for Valentine's Day or Christmas, cut with heart shaped cutters or Christmas themed cutters.

For Easter, you could use egg shaped cutters or bunny cutters or lamb cutters, and fill with a yellow icing or perhaps lemon filling.

For Halloween, use pumpkin or ghost shaped cutters. The red jelly filling would work okay, or you could use something orange colored.

Have fun with this recipe.
