Today Evan told me he was going to make supper tomorrow night, and I got pretty excited! But along with the excitement came sheer terror because that means I would have to try my skills in the kitchen. He said I didn't have to bring anything except an appetite, but I don't want to be a lame girlfriend. So I decided I was going to make dessert.
I am not the best baker/cooker. So I tried to think who was... HEIDI! I love her symphony brownies and no bake cheesecake. I had never made either, but was craving chocolate at the time so brownies it was.
Okay this is where I start to stray and go to the dark side of cooking. I was going to experiment. Uh-oh. Instead of buying symphony bars I thought I would give it a twist with cookies 'n cream. Delish, eh? Well that's my first mistake. I bought 1 symphony bar and 1 cookies 'n cream bar. When I got back to the house it called for 3 symphony bars. Bummer. I would just have to break up the bars and intermix them... no biggie. 
Now to follow the directions to make the brownies. But wait I didn't want to dirty dishes so why not mix it all in one pan without a mixer. Don't do that people... it is not smart or easier. I did get it mixed and concluded that the lumps would go away with baking.
Next I spread out half the mixture and placed the broken bars onto the mixture. Finally I spread the remaining mix over the bars. Well I didn't have enough of that and there were now white pieces of cookies 'n cream sticking out like some ugly disease. Ugh.
To top everything off, I thought it would be great to undercook it. Don't do that either. It does not leave it moist and gooey. It just leaves a mess. And those lumps don't disappear. It is now 11:40 p.m. and I have a disease-looking brownie pan that has a funky taste because I mixed candy bars, undercooked it, and under mixed.
I am still bringing the brownies to Evan, and they will be dub: Sympathy Brownies.
It is the thought that counts anyways.
