Accidental Awesomeness aka A Fast Track to Diabetes

- Mix up a box of brownie mix, following the instructions on the box (eggs, water, oil, etc).

- Spread said mix across the bottom of a baking pan.

- Gently plop a layer of cherry pie filling on top of the brownie foundation.

- Mix 8 oz of cream cheese with one pound of powdered sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a half a stick of butter.

- Even more gently plop that on top of the cherry pie filling.

- Sprinkle a 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top.

- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes.

- Let cool.

Enjoy an overly sweet, gooey pile of awesomeness. A glass of milk is recommended.

July 4th

Do other countries make as big a deal out of their "independence" or equivalent days as we do?

Oh well. I made this from plain vanilla cake mix (added some almond and vanilla extract for a little more flavor), cool whip and berries. It was surprisingly good.

Happy you-know-what day!
