Red, White, and Blue Brownie

I had a  very bad  stomach cramp yesterday so I wasn't able to do the things that I scheduled to do.  Glad my daughter baked the brownies that Glutino have sent me  along with other goodies to review.  We don't do traditional  cookie decorating or cake  for  the 4th of July so I thought of just spicing up this brownies for our  red, white , and blue  celebration.
 I was going to  use red, white, and blue  sprinkles but I got to thinking, that  would be too much sweets so I just use  the strawberries and cherries to represent the red color, the dish for the whgite and blue and I also  used some of my bento  cuties.
 Again, this is not a traditional red, white, and blue that you see because it has  brown in it but it is close.
 My son couldn't wait to  get his share for this  treat.  He has the most sweet tooth in the family so he get so impatient when his Mom has to  take pictures first they can enjoy the goodies lol.
 I wish I have a cherry tree in my backyard because I love this fruit.  I can eat this all day.  It is a little on  the expensive side  but I buy it once in a while, just because.. I love it!
 Strawberries are one of my children's favorite  fruits.  I love it when it is in season because they are  cheap.  They tend to be very expensive during the winter times.
 For those who asked me where I get these cute bento accessories, a friend of mine from Japan sent me those.  I can't find them here in the US.
 The  pocls with hears, I bought it from Dollar tree.  It came with cupcake  papers.  I didn't really use the papers, I just bought it because of the cute picks.
 I wish I have red stars too.  I only have blue and white, if I have red ones, it could have been a perfect  thing to use for tri-star fourth of Jily   theme.
You can check the recipe of this double chocolate chip cookie by checking the link.  Daughter used the  right size of  pan this time.  She learned hthe lesson the first time she baked the one that we had last month.

I like getting baking stuff even though I don't like to bake because of my daughter.  She gets to explore her love of baking.  Now, she hasn't  leanr quite a bit yet how to  clean up everything after she bake but it's okay, that's what Mpther's are for, right?  I hope you guys have a good  Independent Day celebration!

This looks delicious. Brownies with fruit is one of my favorite combos. Chocolate and fruit is always a winner!

Would you look at that! I can have a luscious chocolate brownie and still get in a little from the fruits and vegetables food group. You can't beat that! (And those strawberries look delicious!)
