One of my daughters had a bake sale at school today to raise money to adopt an endangered animal. I pulled out my trusty brownie recipe and popped a candy cane in each mini cupcake. Today I'm going to hit a milestone: 100,000 visitors. If you happen to land on this page, and the StatCounter at the bottom of this page shows 100,000, please make sure to leave a comment, so that I can contact you to send you a little something as a thank you for being my 100,000th visitor!
Thanks for dropping by!
UPDATE:
This morning, Dan from Ohio sent me an email to say he was the 100,000th visitor. Thanks for contacting me, Dan! I will be sending along a little thank you to you in the New Year!
Thanks to everyone for visiting my blog and making this a great year for me!

I have to try those trusty brownies sometimes, for sure. Perhaps when the Holidays are over... and I'm over the cookies, and cakes, and pies, and fat, and turkey, and snacks, and... Okay, when I'm done digesting, lets just say!
They're totaly quirky, with the canes sticking out!
I'm sure these were sold out fast! They look delicious, Shari!
The brownies looks yummy! I luv chocolate!
i like me some regular ol' brownies, but i love me some chocolate-frosted, candy-cane-adorned brownies from a master. :)
I like how you made them as minis.. no messy cutting there and they look cute! I especially like the brownie frosting, it looks fudgy.
Congrats on reaching 100,000!! It's not surprising you have a beautiful blog!

Gorgeous Shari! The candy canes are a lovely touch.
I need more time to do all the holiday baking i have planned. We usually end up eating whatever i make before I get a chance to stash it in the freeezer for later. Love the mini brownies.

Congrats on reaching 100,000! That's super! Love those brownie they're gorgeous!
Congratulations on the 10^5! I looove me some brownies, but with frosting, it's an even more luscious treat!
