“Mint”tastic Cheesecake Brownies

The last meal that I will be able to see for a while…
I had to make it a good one:-)

Today I am putting myself in the hands of the lasik Dr…again.
Yes, I am going to go through the torture of PRK one more time.
And hopefully it will be the last time I need to endure it.
(fingers crossed)
Last year I had it done and my vision is ok now…
but I still squint a lot to get my focus better.
This touch up is supposed to finish fixing my astigmatism.
Before the first surgery I was blind as a bat.
This last year has been great.
I love waking up and actually seeing my alarm clock.

But I am also more nervous this time…
I know what type of pain to expect.
Good thing I bought a large bottle of Ibuprofin.
I have a feeling I am going to need it.

I decided if I was going to be “blind”
and in pain for a couple days,
a great dessert was needed tonight.
Enter in the cheesecake brownie bars…
remember when I made the Reeses ones HERE?

I dug through my baking cupboard
and found mint oreos and
dark chocolate/mint baking chips.

You just might want to make these…
They were delicious!!!!
(Even my husband liked them and
he isn’t a huge sweet eater…

so you know they MUST be good:-)
