In honor of February being the chocolate filled month, my friends & I got together to swap brownies & blondies! The premise is the same as traditional holiday cookie swap. Everyone comes with a large batch of brownies or blondies, sharing them with each other and we all leave with one brownie/blondie of each kind. These are great to share with family, friends, coworkers, etc.
Here are pics of what I served to snack on before swapping:
Spinach Dip w/Toasted Brioche
Black Forest Ham, Scallion & Goat Cheese Pizza
Here are pics and some of the recipes of the brownies & blondies that were brought to the swap:

I feel like swaps are always relegated to the holidays. Good for you for making it an any time of year event!
This is great that you did this not around Christmas!!! Definately food for thought so to speak!
I love reading your blog so much! I have tagged you in a meme.

How fun! All that sweetness would give me a cavity, hehe. Now I am craving a brownie.
You never cease to amaze me! Everytime I visit your blog I’m in awe of the things you do! Unfortunately, I want to bake and eat brownies now!!
