Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

Fudge Stuffed Blondies

Time for Fudge Stuffed Brownies! This was the second recipe I baked from Handle The Heat. The first recipe I tried of hers were the Nutella Brownies in my last post.

The Fudge Stuffed Brownies have three layers of goodness. The middle is a chocolate layer which is surrounded by the blondie layers. These were a little tricky to make, as you need to spread the layers thin before baking. The top blondie layer was kind of hard to spread without it mixing with the fudge. But I did it and the bars tasted so good! The blondie part tastes like cookie dough, so these bars reminded me of chocolate chip cookies, but in layered bar form.
