We got selected by House Party to have a TruMoo party. At House Party, companies want you to have a party with thier products to show your friends and families. For the TruMoo party, for the host they sent us a $5 giftcard for the milk, an apron, and a reusable tote bag. They also sent us goodies for the guests to take home. Everyone got a reusable lunch bag, coupons for milk, stickers,and crazy straws. I bought 1/2 gallons of milk for each girl to take home with them. They all loved it! They also sent fnas, but they had heard a lot of people were having problems with them so they told us to throw them away and not use them.
The people who know us know that we always have enough sweets when we have a party.
So you can see below that we have plenty!
I had made mini cupcakes with chocolate frosting and cow sprinkes. I didn't like the way they turned out so I ended up turning them into cake balls rolled in the sprinkes! I also substituted Tru Moo chocolate milk in the cake mix for the water and added 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter before baking.. In the frosting, I also substituted Tru Moo chocolate milk for the regular milk.
These are Hot Chocolate Cookies
The picture doesn't due them justice. They are really good! You actually add hot chocolate powder, along with milk, white, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Preparation Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, hot chocolate mix, salt and baking soda. Add to wet ingredients in 3 to 4 parts, making sure all is incorporated. Fold in chips. Chill the dough for an hour or so. Use a 1/4 cup as a scoop to scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan
These are "Cow Pie"cookies
They are really good and REALLY chocolaty!
I thought they were good cookie for the cow theme.
This recipe is from a restaurant named Milk in Los Angelos.
Milk's ooey-gooey double-chocolate cookies
Total time: 40 minutes, plus 1 hour chilling time for the batter
Servings: 1 1/2 dozen
Note: Adapted from Bret Thompson of Milk in Los Angeles.
1/4 pound (4 ounces) unsweetened chocolate
4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) butter
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound bittersweet chocolate (chunks or chips)
1. In a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
2. In the bowl of a mixer with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a fork, combine the eggs, vanilla and sugar. Mix just until incorporated and set aside.
3. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
4. Add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture and mix just until combined. Stir in the sifted dry ingredients and mix just until combined, then stir in the bittersweet chocolate.
5. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
6. Divide the dough into 18 portions. Grease your hands (to prevent the dough from sticking) and shape the portions into balls. Place the balls on a greased, parchment-lined sheet pan, leaving 2 to 3 inches between each.
7. Bake until the edges of the cookies are just set and the center is still soft, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Place the cookies, still on the parchment, on a rack and cool completely before serving. They will be very soft
These are the S'Mores cookies that I posted awhile back.
I also made chocolate biscotti, but forgot to take a picture of them by themselves.
Kaylee had invited a few friends over and they all had a great time. I don't think I have ever seen so much chocolate milk drank in one day before! They all loved the milk.
