My favorite things are to bake sweets, make diys, such as a lava lamp and slime, and love my cat. All my life I've been interested in these things and I have gotten better and better at it. My favorite thing to do is baking sweet sweet desserts. One of them is the triple fudge brownie, this is my most favorite and sweet brownie I have ever made. Here is how I made it.

Ingredients:

- 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix 2 cups milk 1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix

- Betty Crocker Cake Mix Super Moist Chocolate Fudge

- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

- Nestle Toll House Chunks Semi-Sweet Chocolate

- Nestle Toll House Mini Morsels Semi-Sweet Chocolate

- Nestle Toll House Morsels Semi-Sweet

- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

Directions:

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 15x10 inch baking pan.

Next, prepare pudding mix according to package directions using the 2 cups milk. Whisk in the cake mix. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Last, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve with ice cream if desired.

Another thing I love to make is slime. All you use is a whole bottle of glue and a cap full of tide detergent. Then as soon as the tide hits the glue the chemical reaction starts immediately. It gets really gooey, if you're slime is to gooey add more tide, if your slime is not very sticky or not as stretchy add more glue.

My most favorite diy is the lava lamp. All you need is a bottle or jar to put it in, vegetable oil, alka seltzer tablets, and any food color you desire.

First, you pour the oil until it's just 2 inches from the top of the jar.

Next, fill in the rest of that 2 inches with water.

Then, put in at least 2 to 3 drops of food coloring to the oil and water.

Finally, break the alma seltzer tab in fours and put them in.
