Camille and I had the opportunity to attend a luncheon for Dairy Queen’s Miracle Treat Day benefiting The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. We are so excited to be involved with The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, as they have have personally impacted our lives. Because of the wonderful staff at Primary Children’s Medical Center (one of the 170 children’s hospitals in the Children’s Miracle Network), Camille’s little boy is alive and well today, which you can read about here.
We were able to hear personal stories of how The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals have helped individual families, and connect with other bloggers who support the cause.
(I wish you could see Camille’s cute baby bump in the top picture! She looks darling!)
The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals across North America which, in turn, use the money where it’s needed most. When a donation is given it stays in the community, helping local kids. Since 1983, The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $4 billion, most of it $1 at a time. These donations support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all in support of their mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible. Find your Children’s Miracle Network Hospital at www.cmnhospitals.org.
To help raise money for The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Dairy Queen is hosting “Miracle Treat Day” TODAY! Dairy Queen will donate $1 or more to the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital for every Blizzard treat sold today! Be sure to stop by your local Dairy Queen to help raise money for a great cause!
When I think about Blizzards, I think of all the DELICIOUS flavors they come in. I thought it was only appropriate to share one of my family’s favorite brownie recipes!
Better Than Anything Brownies Recipe:
Ingredients: 1 package German chocolate cake mix 1 (5 3/4 ounce) can evaporated milk 1 (14 ounce) bag caramels 3/4 cup melted butter 1 bag milk chocolate chips 1 (8 ounce) bag Heath toffee bits
Directions: Mix together cake mix, melted butter and 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Press 1/2 of mix into a 9 x 13-in. greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes. Remove brownies from oven and sprinkle on half the bag of Heath toffee bits. Melt together caramels and rest of the evaporated milk, pour over toffee bits. Sprinkle on half the bag of chocolate chips. Spread the remaining batter on top (this is easiest if you take pieces of the batter, flatten each individual piece in your hands and place on top). Sprinkle remaining toffee bits and chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.
OH my…….I feel a little faint. I wonder if my boss will take the excuse that I need to leave work to go home and make these brownies???? Think he would buy it???
These sound delicious. But I too was wondering on the directions…so do I leave some of the brownie batter out of the first bake time? Thanks for the recipe.
Sorry for the confusion! I have fixed it in the description, but yes, you will leave half of the brownie batter out of the first bake time. Thanks for your question!
These look so yummy but this part of the directions doesnt make sense…. “Place flattened pieces of remaining brownie batter over the top.” Can someone explain for me?
These look great and my husband loves brownies. I wonder if you can use caramel sauce in place of the candies and evaporated milk? Thats what I have on hand so I will give it a try. Thanks for the recipe.
Alright this might be a silly question but am I supposed to make the german cake batter first and then add the addition ingrediants, melted butter and evaporated milk, or is it just the dry cake mix?

I am so sorry about that! I fixed the recipe directions. Hope that helps!
What kind of caramels did you use?
