Grasshopper Brownies

Happy Thursday everyone....I made and delivered my FIRST cupcake order today!! I am so excited, I made Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes and Peppermint Red Velvet Cupcakes.  The other day Chase came home and said he needed something to eat for a work/Christmas party by FRIDAY!! Oh the pressure...so I am making him grasshopper brownies! I have been in a baking frenzy today, my kitchen has been destroyed and put back together about 3 times! And I am getting my monies worth out of my mixer! These brownies are something I am literally throwing together, and I am doing something I never do....I am blogging it BEFORE I taste it! Yikes! So be warned these could really suck. But I like taking risk so here ya go....
