Crescent Roll S'mores

Alright Pintrest... I'll give you another chance. I have marshmallows and those super awesome Ghirardelli chocolate chips so I shall attempt to make this:

Crescent Roll S'mores

Come on now, how hard could this possibly be?? Even I can't screw this up. Right? Right??

Step One: Run out to the store and buy crescent rolls since I don't have any on hand. I bought the store brand because I am cheap (and broke) ^^

Step Two: Clean the kitchen just enough so it appears tidy in pictures.

Step Three: Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with foil.

Step Four: Fill them with deliciousness

 Step Five: Place them in the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes. Eat a few loose chips and marshmallows while you wait.

Step Six: Pull them out of the oven and stare at them for a bit. wait impatiently for them to cool.

Conclusion? Success! The marshmallows melted and you can't really taste them and the chocolate doesn't appear to have fully melted but..... I'm going to file this under "win" anyway. lol

Still don't think I'm going to trust Pintrest...

Pintrest Lied to Me

Maybe some of you have seen the popular brownie pin?

Brownie, caramel, and pretzels

It makes it look soooo easy. Well... it isn't. I'm sure I messed up somewhere.. I may even know where. sadly it doesn't even taste good. Which definitely means it qualifies as a baking failure! *trumpets*

Step One: Glace at the picture provided on Pintrest. Decide it looks so easy even you could do it. Get ingredients needed out and display on counter. 

 Continue to assume that this will be easy and soon you will have delicious pretzel caramel brownies!

Step Two: Read the instructions and start the brownie mix part:

(since I live in Colorado it is wise to follow the "high altitude" instructions. which call for an additional 1/2 cup flour and 1/3 cup of water instead of 1/4)

Step Three: Pour the batter in the greased pan, add the pretzels (this took forever) and then the caramel. - This has to be where I screwed up. I think the pretzels were supposed to go first. and I may have used too much caramel? not sure...

Step Four: Set the oven at 350 and place the brownies in for 25 - 36 min (we ended up doing 36 minutes - not that it helped)

Step Five: Take them out of the oven, assuming they are supposed to look like that. But they're not. 

Step Six: Scoop some out and hope that it tastes good... but it doesn't. The pretzel are mushy and the brownie is just gross. Where did the caramel go? 

Step Seven: Vow to never ruin perfectly good brownie mix again, or to trust pintrest. Evil evil pintrest.

So there you have it, I fail again. Don't worry we didn't need those extra calories anyway. I'll be frying up some chicken tonight cross your fingers for me. ^^ One of these days I'll be able to post about a "baking success"!!

Finished

I have finished Harry "Trotter" and Flapjack! I think they turned out pretty good. ^^

The hardest part was the Gryffindor symbol. Flapjack was pretty easy, I used an off white for his shirt and hat to make it not too bright. I'm not sure what t do next. I've had people mention Star Wars style ponies but I'm not too sure about those yet. I'll have to think it over.
