So we are getting dangerously close to the time of year when there is no more good tv on. I call it summer. It’s rough. It’s always during this time that the hubs and I seek out old series and such to binge watch. My mom has been telling me for a while now that I need to check out Outlander on Starz. She’s read the books and is super into the show. I decided to check it out and see what the fuss was all about.

The first episode is available for free on their website, so before committing I decided to watch that. You guys, I’m kinda digging it. I feel like it’s a little bit of Downton Abbey meets Game of Thrones. Not as proper as Downton Abbey and not as gruesome and brutal as Game of Thrones – but it’s got that fantasy element to it. My mom totally digs the love story and I’m quite interested now. I mean, that Scottish accent. 😉

I’m thinking once I’m done with the cookbook, I’m going to have to binge watch season one and two. And did you know that Walkers Shortbread has an Outlander shortbread pack since they’re shortbread is made in Scottland? I’m thinking some wine and shortbread will be necessary to accompany me.

These brownies might be necessary too. And they’re so easy to make, they’d be perfect for any binge watching or movie night. 🙂 I don’t even break out the mixer, I just use a whisk and a bowl.

The combination of the moist cakey brownie and the light crunch from the muddy buddies is really fun. You can make your own muddy buddies or use the store bought ones. I used the store bought ones for ease, but I think homemade muddy buddies would be even better. I think they have a little more peanut butter flavor. AND – you can snack on muddy buddy brownies and the regular muddy buddies. Score!

    It’s always such a pain that TV stops in the summer. That’s when I’m off work, and that’s when they decide to do nothing fun. But now I can try Outlander!
    And these brownies. I’ll eat and watch. A happy way to spend an hour!
