After a long day all we want is a treat or a snack. I know we do and we always gravitate towards something chocolaty and indulgent. We can’t just eat and not share, so here’s our Brownie Cookies filled with Mascarpone Frosting. Some product samples were received from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #BacktoSchoolTreats week recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

This upcoming back to school season is filled with mix feelings. Both of our girls are graduating. One from high school and the other from middle school. You guys, I’m going to be a wreck. Some tears will be filled with joy and others with a sense of “time goes by way too fast”. At the end of it all, I’m proud of them and the lessons learned throughout the years. Back to school is approaching whether we are ready or not and with it lots of new experiences and changes. We’re ready for them! Bring it on!
