Happy New Years Eve!

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! The boyfriend and I spent the day cleaning up the apt in prep of having friends over tonight and tomorrow. We are having a few out of town friends come up to our place to out in the City tonight so they are sleeping over. Then tomorrow is our annual Holiday dinner, which we all started senior year of college and have continued to host. So the bf and I did some baking and prep work for tomorrow night's dinner. We made peppermint bark fudge brownies, chocolate covered pretzels (made his way), and jalapeno wantons.

The peppermint bark fudge brownies are so simple to make. Just get a box of fudge brownie mix, break up some candy canes, and peppermint bark candy. Follow the directions on the box for the brownies and then mix in some of the peppermint candy cane in the brownie mix. Only pour half the batter in the pan and then lay the peppermint bark across the brownie mix then add the rest of the mix on top. Put it in the oven and there you go peppermint bark fudge brownies!

My bf makes chocolate covered pretzels the easy way. He gets the little knotted pretzels, the chocolate wafer candies, and M&Ms. You lay out the pretzels on a baking sheet and put the chocolate on top of the pretzels. Stick them in the oven for a minute or so this way the chocolate melts a bit so you can add on top the M&Ms. It's a much easier way then the way I make my chocolate covered pretzels which you can see here: Chocolate Covered Pretzels.

We did some major cleaning and some more little decorations since he bought more things while he was home in PA and everything was on sale.
