Pie Night-

Our friends have a really fun get together every year. 

Everyone brings some sort of pie- visits, eats and then eats some more! 

Instead of the typical pie I wanted to bring something different and I decided on

 Salted caramel brownie whoopie pies (say that fast 5x) 

They were A HIT! So dang good. Except they are rich so we ended cutting them up into 4 so that all could share in the goodness! Here's the recipe if you are in the mood to make something super yummy! The brownies could have baked a bit longer... They were a bit mushy but that's what made them

 OH SO GOOD!
