I was so excited when given the importunity to try out this amazing prize pack from Betty Crocker Box Tops for Education. We love making brownies! And helping out the school our children go to.
What are Box Tops for education?

This back-to-school season, look for double Box Tops on specially marked packages of Betty Crocker baking mixes.

Whether you’re collecting for new computers, library books, or a playground, through the Box Tops for Education® program you can help make a difference. Last year, your contributions earned more than $59 million for America’s schools! To learn more about Box Tops for Education and how you can help your local school go here.
How do we make brownies?
We always make our Betty Crocker brownies like cupcakes. You do not need liners just spray a little non stick spray and every one can participate in making brownies. Once done cooking let then cool for about a minute and then use a toothpick in the side of the brownie to pop it out. I prefer the mini cupcake pans so that these make really great snack sized treats for every one. These are also great for school parties!
