Some new treats...

Haven't posted in awhile! The pictures say it all- YUM!


The most moist chocolate cake EVER with peanut butter frosting, topped with peanut butter cups. Oh. baby.
Should have taken a picture after cutting into it. Guess I'll have to make another one! :)

Super-thick, gooey, delicious, Oreo brownies. A personal favorite of mine and a sure crowd-pleaser!

Oatmeal cookies with cut-up Hershey's minis (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, Mr. Goodbar, & Krackel) and Hershey Kisses. Eclectic? Perhaps, but a wonderful combo!

And finally, Pumpkin Bread. with 1/3 less sugar than the recipe originally called for actually. Make this one every fall- another fav!

the center is my favorite part ;)


That's all for now!! More to come soon! Recommendations? Shout 'em out!

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Stuff Cookies

Do you like peanut butter? chocolate? oatmeal? soft flavorful cookies?

Then this is the cookies for you!
Around Easter time, I felt like making a unique cookie. In my room I had a bag of peanut butter cups, a bag of butterfinger eggs (aka Easter themed butterfingers), and ~ 1/4 of a bag of peanut m&ms. I love oatmeal cookie as a base. And that's how this cookie got started.

chock-full of peanut butter and chocolate flavor, these soft oatmeal cookies have crushed up peanut butter cups, butterfinger eggs, and the rest of that bag of peanut m&ms in them. When I first mixed it all together, I thought I might have too much "stuff" and not enough "dough." But after I baked the first batch, I knew there was no mistake.

These are the best cookie ever. Perfect for any and all peanut butter and chocolate lovers.





Homemade Peanut Butter Cups!

Once you have these, you'll never buy Reese's again!!

I first made these for my brother's 16th birthday! Since I was in DC, and he was in MA, I knew I had to make something that could be shipped. Made these, sent him half, and kept half for me and my old roommate (and best friend in the whole world <3 you). A few special other people got to try them too :) Will definitely make again!!

hint: there is not only peanut butter in the center, but also peanut butter mixed in with the chocolate!!
