Hello everyone! Momnoms is back and on a new platform!
It’s time to relive your childhood nostalgia and not feel as bad for it…because you’re making it at home! These cosmic brownies will bring you all of your favorite parts of your childhood!
I will try to make this brief as I know that here, 10 years after the original Momnoms blog started, people do NOT like when food and recipe bloggers talk too much. I find this hilarious because my goodness, making food blogs, especially recipe testing, is expensive and very time consuming and people complain on free things!
But honestly, I totally get it. I also hate when I’m looking for a recipe and I have to scroll like 40 pages in order to get to it.
This is a test post mostly, because I want to make sure that Beehiiv is going to have everything that I need to fully bring Momnoms back.
We decided that it would be amazing if we brought the brand back with a retro Twitch stream so that we can figure out how to elevate our favorite retro snacks. The first one?
Cosmic brownies
You cannot tell me that these gooey and fudgy brownies did not have a choke-hold on you as a child, I know they did with me.
Without further ado; here is the recipe! Go and test them and then tag me in your photos on Instagram! I love seeing you guys making some special things with us!
Here to make your childhood dreams come true, wonderful cosmic brownies that are elevated for your adult tastebuds (or for your child’s tastebuds 😝)
