Something Sweet For You

So Honey made a new treat that we have fallen in love with, and then he turned around and did it again.

We ran out of cupcake wrappers though (you know the paper cups you line the muffin/cupcake pan with to keep them from sticking) so we are trying to make them in the mini-muffin pan, hoping they don't stick.

I know, you're drooling. Ewww... not on my keyboard, please!

Anyway, one of the major treats that we kept making until we ran out of cupcake wrappers were home made peanut butter cups. You know, Reese's Cups? Yes, those, but our way. Basically we have a huge bag (15 lbs) of chocolate chips and we melt them down into chocolate gooyness. We line the bottom of the cups with a layer of chocolate and then put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes. By then they are quite frozen and we then add a spoonful of peanut butter, then pour more chocolate over the top and stick them back into the freezer.

You can't eat them right out of the freezer though, so don't go make them and blame me for breaking a tooth. You've got to let them warm up a little.

If you can't have milk chocolate (semi-sweet chocolate) then you can try making them with dark chocolate, I haven't done this yet but plan to (sometime soon) buy dark chocolate Hershey bars and make some for my Honey's sister's family.

Today I made some for his mom and instead of peanut butter I put almond butter in them for her, which she provided. These are the test ones in the muffin pan, so please pray for me that these come out of the cups!

The other treat that he did was really good and again includes peanut butter and chocolate, my Honey knows me so well.

We had another pouch of peanut butter cookie mix and he decided to make those. With the leftover mix he shoved it into cups on the muffin pan and made them into a cup (sort of) - he lined the bottom and sides with the cookie mix and then put in some chocolate chips. The cookie dough baked up and the heat melted the chocolate chips about halfway through or more. Using a spoon he stirred the chocolate around and got the rest melted, once cooled they came right out of the pan and they are SO good.

So, there's two new things for you to make - four if you like dark chocolate and almond butter. Go to your closest Costco and buy a huge bag of Chocolate Chips! Tell them I sent you. Laters!
