PEACHES & CREAM BROWNIE MUD PIE: National Peaches & Cream Day

Today is Peaches & Cream Day. Fresh peaches are in the market now, so it's a great time for this holiday! To add chocolate to Peaches & Cream Day, you can always cover some fresh halves with dark chocolate and serve with whipped cream. But to take it up a notch, make this great recipe from Land O Lakes. Don't forget that there are some great recipes on various food sites. I love this one!
