It is getting to be the time of year for mid-term exams and late night study sessions. You may feel too busy to eat anything, but you must! Here are a few easy snacks you can whip up with things from the dining hall and grocery store in your room or apartment.
Homemade Cosmic Brownies
2 large eggs
1/3 C Milk
1/3 C Melted Butter
1 Instant Vanilla Jello Package
1 Duncan Hines Double Fudge Decadent brownie mix
1 Hershey’s chocolate fudge icing
Preheat the oven to 350*F (glass/metal pan) or 325*F (non-stick pan)
Use butter or PAM to grease the bottom and sides of the pan
Combine the brownie mix, eggs, milk, butter and jello mix into a large bowl.
Stir until well blended.
Spread evenly into the pan.
Bake for 27-28 minutes. Add 3-5 minutes for the dark or non-stick pans.
Cool before icing.
