#pb #chocolate #cups

You can sign me up for one of those "obsession" shows, because this is what I'll be eating from now on, 24/7.

(Consider the above a disclaimer)

{Makes 12}

1/2 cup butter 

3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter 

3/4 graham cracker crumbs (aka: 10 graham cracker squares) 

1/4 cup maple sugar (I bet honey is delish too!) 

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips 

1/4 cup chopped peanuts (next time I am going to sprinkle with sea salt!) 

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside. 

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the PB, graham cracker crumbs, and maple syrup. Mix well. Remove the mixture from the heat. Evenly divide the mixture, about 2 spoonfuls per cup, among the muffin cups. 

Melt the chocolate chips (or melting chocolate) in another pan. Stir until melted (be careful not to burn.) Spoon the chocolate evenly over the pb mixture. Top with chopped nuts. Place in the refrigerator to set at least 2 hours before serving. 

WARNING: HIGHLY ADDICTIVE.

s'mor(ish) 

i first saw this video here and ever since have become obsessed with the mystery that could a s'more could get EVEN better? Not to mention, a little healthier, etc, etc. 

So here is the plan...I say eat this "in season" and leave the real deal (cough cough chocolate) to after that "big race!" Athlete style. 

All about compromise right?

lucky charms

 Happy (almost) St. Patty's Day. 

Nothing beats combing marshmallow goodness with more marshmallow goodness. 

ummm yeahh, it just screams LUCKY. 

Here is how how the Irish I do it...

{Supplies} 

1 box of Lucky Charms (cereal kind, not the witch/harry potter kind)

Almost the entire bag of mini marshmallows 

About 3 tablespoons of butter

Brownie pan (9x9)

Pot (the legal kind)

{Steps} 

Melt the butter and marshmallows in the pot on low(ish) heat. Keep stirring and be careful not to burn 'em. 

When melted, dump the box of lucky charms into the white fluff. Stir n' coat the cereal. 

Put into greased pan. Let sit for a bit and cut into squares (or eat right away if you like it gooey!) 

(if you need a more official recipie, go here)  

 


PS: Keep an eye out for more Irish posts, I love meee dem Irish. More to come on all that...

oscar recipes. 

I treat the Academy Awards like a holiday. Yes, I am that person. I can't help but waste my entire Sunday with my eyes glued to the TV hoping to be there one day...you know asking people important stuff, like what they are wearing. Anyways, until then I won't be on a dress detox, rather using this as another excuse to have a party.
