Dear Ignis

The 41st HAT would like to say that, despite coming in last for the NE cup, this doesn't mean we're defeated. We're still proud of our house - and of the performers who put so much on the line to stand up there and give it for Ignis (to the 3 magicians: everybody agrees that your xishuashua was incredibly funnily mindblowing) and those who came down to help in propsmaking - and we hope you'll continue to give us your support in all future events, and all house activities no matter how big or small.

This may be one setback for us - and we're sorry to have disappointed you - but failure is temporary and we promise to get there in the end!! We really hope you'll continue giving us your support and continue showing everybody this is why we're hot - because we never give up.

The last house event for the year will be the Games Festival, which is slated to happen on the 3rd of October. So here's a call to all sportsmen and women! If you've been inspired by the Olympic Games 2008, here's your chance to shine and put up a good showing too - for Ignis! Will release the details when they come out.

Keep the flame burning bright for Ignis!
Stay all fired up
The 41st Ignis HAT.

Recipes from our Fund-raising Baking 2007! (:

P.B. Chips Brownie Cups

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
3/4 HERSHEY'S Cocoa or HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Cocoa
7/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5/3 cups (10-ounce package) REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips, divided (alternatively, you can just add a half a tablespoon of peanut butter between 2 layers of the brownie mix in the cup)

1) Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups (5/2 inches in diameter) with paper or foil bake cups

2) Place butter in large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1 to 3/2 minutes or until melted. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; beat well. Add cocoa; beat until well blended. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat well. Stir in 4/3 cups peanut butter chips. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups.

3) Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until surface is firm; remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup peanut butter chips over muffin tops, pressing in slightly. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.

(Makes about 5/2 dozen brownie cups)

Milk Chocolate Chip Giant Cookies

6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups (11.5-oz. pkg.) HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Chips
Frosting(optional)
Ice cream(optional)

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line two 9-inch round baking pans with foil.

2. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat well. Stir together flour and baking soda; add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Stir in milk chocolate chips. Spread half of batter into each prepared pan, spreading to 1-inch from edge. (Cookies will spread to edge when baking.)

3. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely; carefully lift cookies from pan and remove foil. Frost, if desired. Cut each cookie into 8 wedges; serve topped with scoop of ice cream, if desired.

(16 servings)
