Soup and Brownies

All I can say is Yummmm... and you really should make these soon!

Caramel Pretzel Brownie Bites

Brownie
1 German Chocolate Cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup butter

Pretzel Crumble
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 cup crushed pretzels

Caramel Drizzle
About 15-20 caramels
2-3 Tbsp. evaporated milk

1 cup milk chocolate chips

In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, egg and butter until smooth. Scoop batter into mini muffin tins sprayed with non stick spray. Scoop about 1 Tbsp. pretzel crumble on the top of the brownie batter. Pat down lightly.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
Immediately after taking out of the oven, drizzle the caramel over the top of the brownie and press in a few chocolate chips.

ENJOY!!

And, ok, because we can't live on these treats alone, I made "homemade" chicken soup too!

I love this easy recipe. It takes simple ingredients that I usually have in the pantry and makes a quick easy soup that my whole family likes.

Chicken Wild Rice Soup
5 2/3 cups water
1 pkg. long grain & wild rice mix
1 envelope chicken noodle soup mix

1 medium carrot, chopped

1 cup cubed cooked chicken

In a large saucepan, combine water, rice with contents of seasoning packet and soup mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the celery, carrot and onion. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cream of chicken soup and chicken. Cook 8 minutes longer and enjoy -- approx. 5 servings.

The domestic goddess is now tired. I must put my feet up and rest for a while!!
