Can you believe another year has come and almost gone? This recipe is one for fun. It is a quick brownie. With New Year’s Eve coming this reminds me of the Grasshoppers, now in a brownie. Also, a Creme De Menthe cake for your New Year’s party. These recipes came from Sally Wallace from Walnut, Ill., and Karen Cole from Frankfort, Ill. Thanks girls.
