mini earthquake bites

Chocolate.  What do you make for a group of coworkers that all love chocolate, and it’s snack day?

mini earthquake bites-yum

One of my sister in law’s favorite dessert to make many years ago was an earthquake cake.  Ever had it?  It’s quite easy to make and was always a huge hit when she or I made it for large gatherings.  Came home after work, wanted to make something everyone would enjoy but easy enough to whip out in no time.  I thought of earthquake cake when I saw the pantry shelf had  boxed cake mixes & mini mallows.

Two bowls later that contained cake batter in one and brownie batter in the other, a warm oven and mini tin in hand–away we went…to make mini earthquake bites!

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂
