Ballad a Day..until Valentine's Day

I was on Facebook and saw that Bon Jovi was doing a ballad a day until Valentine's Day and I am borrowing the idea. He is one of my very favorite singers so I will do day one with one of my favorite songs that he sings! Have a blessed day.

Tasty Finds Tuesday - Hershey's Best Brownies with Creamy Brownie Frosting

I am in love with anything chocolate as long as it is sweet and rich! I LOVE Hershey recipes!! These brownies were so good and so very rich! This makes a small batch so if you want to double it make sure you use a 9x13 dish. You will need lots of milk to drink with these brownies. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and friends did. 


Hershey's Best Brownies


What You Will Need:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter melted
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 all purpose flour
1/3 cup Hershey Cocoa

1/4 salt
1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
