Petrified Homemade Treats

Yesterday an old cereal box liner bag filled with what looked to be Frosted Mini-Wheats was discovered in the antique bread box up in my recently deceased mother-in-law's kitchen. It turned out that it was a secret stash of Gold Rush Brownies baked and brought by one of my Minnesota sisters - last Thanksgiving! One of us hid them up there (maybe me) to save them for future scarf sessions, then forgot about them, which is pretty incredible, knowing the family addiction to these goodies.

So my husband tried one and pronounced them "crunchy" but still good. I ate three.

  2. Ha! Gold Rush Brownies are toothsome little bars that are easy to eat, but are principally made of graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, and condensed milk. This makes you cry when you try to get them out of the pan if you forgot to line it with waxed paper before baking them. Maj. Reader
