Honey Kissed Peanut Butter Cookies

When I go to bake a batch of cookies, I often find myself adding in other sweet things. Instead of a basic chocolate chip cookie I make oatmeal, coconut, pecan, chocolate chip cookies. Instead of simple shortbread I make these tasty treats. But this time I decided to keep it truly simple. Peanut butter cookies. [...]

Peanut Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables

One of the great things about having a pantry that’s on the small side is that it is next to impossible to lose track of food, only to find it years later. I don’t have to get elbow-deep in my canned goods to find a can of tomatoes. My small food storage also keeps me [...]

Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Is there any better combination? Maybe if I’d added caramel in some capacity… Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened 1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth) 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking [...]

Peanut Butter Icebox Pie

There are not many combinations more perfect than peanut butter and chocolate. When I came across this recipe as I was flipping though The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook I immediately stopped and added the ingredients to my grocery list. There is no baking required and therefore no need to turn on your oven, which is nice [...]

Triple Peanut Oatmeal Cookies

An undeniable craving for oatmeal cookies struck me last week. I rummaged through the baking cabinet…yes, I have a cabinet filled almost exclusively with baking goods and gadgets…and found a bag of peanut butter chips. Mmm. Then I went to the pantry and was drawn toward the jar of creamy peanut butter and the [...]

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Toffee Brownies

A few weeks ago I caught the end of Oprah while on the treadmill at the gym. Her guests were the contestants of the 2010 Pillsbury Bake-Off, and at the end of the show they revealed the winner of the $1,000,000 grand prize. This was the winning recipe, Mini Ice Cream Cookie Cups. These little [...]

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Bites

These little, unassuming bite-size goodies made quite an impression last weekend. I brought them to a Christmas party where they were completely devoured and raved about. I saw one of the party guests 2 days later and she asked me for the recipe. I hadn’t had such a great response to a dessert in, well…ever! I [...]

Peanut Butter Fudge: Re-Do

I was so embarrassed after I tasted the final fudge disaster. It was hard, crumbly and pretty much inedible. How can someone with some tiny bit of culinary sense, a relatively competent mind, and a candy thermometer screw up fudge? Well, I did it! So, you may want to discontinue reading this blog, unless you [...]

Peanut Butter Fluff Fudge

Marshmallow Fluff is one of those things that should probably never have been invented. It wouldn’t have been invented by anyone but Americans. I love the stuff. A friend of mine in high school grew up in Boston and began bringing “Fluffernutters” for lunch and I was amazed! Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiched in [...]

Sweet Saturday: Reese's Blondies

Last week I made 3 batches of blondies hoping to create something irresistibly delicious. I originally planned on making a Candy Bar Blondie with a variety of candy bars chopped into chocolate chip sized pieces. I used a basic blondie recipe and then just replaced the chips and buts with the candy pieces. Attempt #1 resulted in [...]
