Peanut Butter Frosted Brownies

Tina36 Comments

When I was a kid, my school cafeteria sometimes served a peanut butter and chocolate graham cracker square for dessert.  You could only get them on certain days and only if you bought the lunch.  They were so good that I’d specifically buy lunch on those days even if I didn’t like the lunch option.  Ever since that dessert, I’ve been a huge peanut butter and chocolate fan. These peanut butter frosted brownies take me back to when I was a kid and I adore them every bit as much as those cafeteria desserts.  These fudgy brownies are topped with sweet …

Mini Powdered Sugar Doughnut Muffins

“Time to make the doughnuts.”  Do you remember that commercial?  Well in this case, it’s time to make mini powdered sugar doughnut muffins! I love munchkin doughnuts from Dunkin’ Donuts (who doesn’t, if you’re familiar with the chain, doughnut holes for those that don’t).  I especially love the ones covered with powdered sugar.  Shocker, I know.  For those of you who know me or have read other posts of mine, I’m kind of obsessed with powdered sugar.     😉  While I frequently by Dunkin’ coffee, I rarely treat myself to their doughnuts.  They are mad tasty but they are not a friend to my …

As a kid, granola bars were my go to snack.  The peanut butter chocolate chip ones were my favorite and they still are today.  Since I’ve made Homemade Granola, I’ve been anxious to make homemade granola bars. I don’t have to wait anymore.  In fact I’m so addicted to these that I can’t wait to make another version of this recipe, using different goodies like nuts and dried fruit.  These chewy granola bars will please both peanut butter and chocolate fans.  I’m in love with them.  I ate two of them while I photographed them.     🙂 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars …

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Loaf

A few weeks ago my husband and I met up with my family (parents, us 4 sisters, 3 husbands, 2 nephews, and a niece) in Lake George for a long weekend.  We mostly did two things, hang out at the pool and eat.  Does it really get better than that?  (No, it doesn’t.)  I wondered what I could make for the occasion that as many people as possible would like.  I figured it had to contain chocolate since they are chocolate lovers like me.  Plus, I wanted it to contain fruit since fruit is such a summery treat.  Then it …

Soft Peanut Butter Cookies with M&Ms and Chocolate Chips

Tina8 Comments

The combo of peanut butter and chocolate has to be one of the most perfect combinations of all time.  I couldn’t resist taking my classic Soft Peanut Butter Cookie and turning it into a huge peanut butter chocolate party.  Chocolate, party of 2?  Oh yes, I went there, adding twice as much chocolate as a normal chocolate chip cookie.  It wasn’t enough for me to have just chocolate chips.  I also had to have miniature M&Ms too.  Have I mentioned that I adore chocolate?     😉 These soft and chewy peanut butter cookies are packed with tons of chocolaty goodness. Soft Peanut Butter Cookies …
