Homemade Mocha and Mound Brownie bars

Hey guys sorry for my inconsistency on posting.
To be honest I kinda forgot.
But I want to share 2 lovely and so extremely simple recipes!!
First is a homemade mocha:-)

Just add 3 to 5 Tablespoons of cocoa mix to your cup of coffee.
Then add some vanilla creamer or as substitute, a little milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
Stir together and voila!

Next we have super duper simple and crazily delicious Mound Brownie bars!
[Mounds are those Almond Joy candy bars without the almonds if you're wondering]

What you need to have ready is:

1 pan of boxed or homemade brownies. To make this even simpler I used box mix. But for the oil content in the mix, I used coconut oil. The mixture was a thicker but it baked just fine. However, I did not put it in for the whole baking time instructed by the package.

After the brownies are baked and slightly cool, you'll want to get out...
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
3 cups of coconut flakes

Stir those 2 ingredients together just so the coconut is covered with the sweetened condensed milk.
Spread the sticky mixture over the pan of brownies evenly.
Next you'll need 1 bag of chocolate chips. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil for a coconut-y flavor or just some butter for smoothness.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the last layer and spread so it is covered in chocolate. I put sprinkles on too! And then put in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat it:-)
Ta-da!

Hope you can enjoy these two simple recipes!

Catching up on my baking (#1) and more

Hey everybody!  I noticed today, logging onto Blogger that I have 2 more followers!  Yay!!!
So, as you can see from the title of this post, I want start catching up on my baking.

These are the first two things I found I want to share:
I actually DON'T know what these were called... but they were like, peanut butter brownies with chocolate on top.  I made them for the 4th of July:)  SUPER GOOD!

 And here is #2.  On Saturday I wanted to make cupcakes, but ended up making Chocolate muffins for breakfast on Sunday!  There were GORGEOUS!  But sadly, looked better than they tasted.  They could have been much more moist, but they were very nice and dense.

One more thing. Today was my first day of school!  I will be honest saying I did not completely enjoy my first day of being a sophomore :P  But thats okay...  

This picture is of most of the books my family own that were on a certain shelf in out schoolroom.  We got this super nice new shelf and had to clean all the books off.  So it was kind of a quick 'renovation' of our schoolroom before our school year :)  

I had a very lovely summer and lots of fun, but am ready for fall!!!!  :D  

My classes are:

• Algebra 1 (Math) (since I totally failed 8th grade math and had to re-take it last year for freshman year, now I am finally starting Algebra :P) 
• Natural History (Science)
• World History (History)
• Apologetics (Religion)
• 'Ballad of the White Horse' Study  and Greek History (English)
•  Spanish

I think thats it :)

I wish you all the best for the rest of summer and a good school year!!
