I think this has happened to most parents. You are getting your child ready for school, and they announce that they are supposed to bring in a treat to share with the class…today!
After you finish screaming inside, you consider your (limited) options:
- rice crispy treats (or cornflake treats)
- buy some cookies/tangerines/grapes on your way to school
- puffed wheat squares
- run away from home
- ???
My go-to treat is butterscotch brownies. They take about 20 minutes from start to finish, and I always have the necessary ingredients to hand. I have made this so many times over the years, that I have committed it to memory.
