PUPPY SHOWER CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
• In 1-quart microwaveable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.
• Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
• Prepare the brownie layer: In a medium saucepan combine the butter and sugar, and heat over medium until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and whisk vigorously until well combined. 
• Once the mixture has cooled a bit, whisk in the eggs one at a time. Whisk in the vanilla. 
• Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, and stir to combine. Transfer to a medium bowl. 
• Prepare the cookie batter: Wash and dry the saucepan. Combine the butter and sugar, and heat over medium until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and whisk vigorously until well combined. 
• Once the mixture has cooled a bit, whisk in the eggs one at a time. Whisk in the vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and stir. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate.
• Using two cookie scoops, drop each of the batters into the prepared pan. The pattern can be random, and one dough can be on top of the other; just make sure that once all the batter is added to the pan, you have an even thickness spread out across the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate on top. 
• Bake until the top looks dry and set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes. Lift the bar out using the paper and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into bars to serve.
