The Price Is Right!!!

We have such a fun contest we are doing right now!!  We have a poster with 16 school items on it, you have to estimate how much each item costs.  We add up the totals and whoever comes the closest to the actual price will win gift cards.  It has been so fun seeing how different the guesses can be.  Come on in and try your luck or maybe its your expertise.  Thanks to everyone who participates!!!

Butterscotch Brownies Anyone!!

Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
(optional: 1 cup butterscotch chips)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 40 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine oil and brown sugar, using an electric mixer and blending well.  Add eggs.  Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, then add vanilla.

Spread batter into a greased 9"x9" pan.  If desired, sprinkle with butterscotch chips over top.  Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees.  After cooling one minute, swirl the chips with a knofe to give marbelized effect.

To keep brownies soft, cover pan with foil while still hot, or cut the brownies in squares and store them in a covered container.  Makes two dozen.
