Pinkies!!!

I know what you must be thinking.  Nothing for over a year and then BAM! two posts in one day.  And to that I say: Stop complaining and enjoy the beauty that is this yummy recipe!  I saw this on Pinterest.  It was called Strawberry Brownies.  The Prince is a fan of strawberry desserts, so I decided I should give it a whirl.  When I served him one after dinner and proudly said, "These are strawberry brownies!"  He looked at it and said, "You mean pinkies?"  Not only is that name infinitely cuter, it is in fact more appropriate.  So pinkies it is, and here is how you make them...


Ingredients:
a strawberry cake mix
1/3 cup of oil
2 eggs
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2  tablespoons of milk or water

Mix the cake mix, oil and eggs...


Mix the ingredients until it becomes a sort of hard to stir ball of dough.  The recipe said that it would be thick, and this was not an overstatement...


Press the dough into a 9x13 pan...


Bake at 350 for 14 minutes.  That seemed like a very odd, specific time to me, but it was perfect!  They were done at exactly 14 minutes.  Now to make the glaze!  Did I forget to mention there is a glaze?  Well, there is!  In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar with milk or water, your choice.  We split the difference and used half and half...


Stir until you get to this consistency...  I had to add some extra half and half, so just kinda eyeball it...


Spread the glaze on top of the pinkies, cut, serve and eat!  Look how pretty they are...


This is another easy, few ingredient recipe but it was really tasty!  If you don't share the recipe, no one will know how easy it was.  I thought they were the perfect balance of rich, sweet and dense but not too dense.  Try them and let me know what you think!
