1 box (18–19 oz.) brownie mix
1 Preheat oven to 350°.
¼ cup melted butter
2 Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
½ cup cream cheese, room temperature 1 egg 3
/4 cup peanut butter
3
/4 cup powdered sugar

/4 cup chocolate frosting
sea salt flakes 1 cup butter, room temperature 2
/3 cup boiling water
1 cup sifted Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder (or regular cocoa powder) 8 cups powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla SERVINGS: 24 cookies RECIPE CREDIT:
3 In a medium bowl combine brownie mix, butter, cream cheese and egg. Stir until dough comes together, it will be very thick and sticky. I used my hands. 4 Form rounded tablespoons sized portions of dough into balls, placing on baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making an indentation with your thumb in the center of each. 5 In another bowl stir together peanut butter and powdered sugar. Form peanut butter into teaspoon sized balls and press into the indentations in the brownie cookies. 6 Press peanut butter down slightly because the peanut butter won’t spread and you don’t want the cookies to be too tall. 7 Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set, then let cool until they are room temperature. 8 When cooled, top each cookie with about a tablespoon of chocolate frosting and a pinch of sea salt flakes.

DirectionS: 1 Preheat the oven to 325°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 2 Melt the butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter browns lightly and smells slightly nutty, about 15 minutes. 3 Transfer the butter to a medium bowl—be sure to get all the tasty brown bits—and cool slightly. 4 Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in another medium bowl. 5 Whisk the egg yolk, sugar and vanilla into the cooled browned butter. 6 Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture to make a uniform but crumbly dough that looks like wet sand. 7 Scoop out dough with a small teaspoon (the kind you set the table with, not the ones you measure with). 8 Rock spoon gently back and forth against the side of the bowl, packing the dough into the spoon, then scrape/slide the spoon against the inside of the bowl to make spoon-shaped cookies.

Drop 1 banana slice at a time into the chocolate and turn to coat. 7 Lift out banana pieces with a fork, tapping the fork gently on the bowl edge making sure the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. 8 Place banana slices on the prepared sheet and sprinkle with nuts. Repeat for all banana slices. 9 Freeze the bonbons until the chocolate is set (about 20 minutes) 10 Transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer

The story of the Moscow Mule begins in 1939 when a nearly broke Russian ex-pat, Rudolph Kunett, sold the Smirnoff brand to John Martin, head of G.F. Heublein & Bros. Eventually John Martin used the Moscow Mule to help promote vodka to bars across the US and this helped fuel the mainstream acceptance of vodka as the preferred white spirit, replacing gin. Martin set off to market the Moscow Mule in the bars around the country. He bought one of the first Polaroid cameras and asked barmen to pose with a Moscow Mule copper mug and a bottle of Smirnoff vodka. Then he would leave one copy of the photo at the bar and take a second copy to the bar next door to show them that their competitors were selling their concoction. Between 1947 and 1950, thanks to their invention, Smirnoff vodka case columns more than tripled and nearly doubled in 1951. The Moscow Mule took heat for the Russian association. Assuming that Smirnoff was a Russian import, unionized bartenders in New York announced a Moscow Mule boycott, refusing to “shove slave labor liquor across the wood in any American saloon.” Smirnoff rushed to testify that its vodka was not, and never had been a member of the Communist Party. In support, Walter Winchell wrote in 1951, “The Moscow Mule is US made, so don’t be political when you’re thirsty. Three are enough, however, to make you wanna fight pro-Communists.”
