Chocolate + Peanut Butter


I have never really blogged about such things before but for some reason I feel the need to share a subject very close to my heart: Chocolate and Peanut Butter. I am completely in love with any thing that contains only these two ingredients. Since I have Truper I have been forced to stay clear of chocolate, but slowly I have brought it back into my diet.:) It doesn't matter what mood I am in, you give me Chocolate/Peanut Butter and I immediately bounce into complete happiness. Some of my loves are:

Yesterday Gary ( The most wonderful husband in the world) made me Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies upon my request. You have to make them, they are heavenly. Here is the recipe, we made some changes to meet what we wanted.

(Just so you know, I don't make healthy cookies, in my opinion I think it is a crime to do so!)

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter ( not margarine)

1 cup peanut butter ( I woud add another 1/2 cup if you really like PB)

1 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

2 eggs

4 T Milk

2 tsp vanilla

3 1/2 cups flour

2-3 cups Chocolate Chips

Beat butter and peanut butter, add sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat until combined. Beat in eggs, milk, and vanilla. Beat in flour. Add chocolate chips

Shape dough into 1-2 inch balls. Bake 350, 11-12 mins. Enjoy!!! So Yummy!!!!

I wholeheartedly concur!! And so does Aubrey. He has a very soft spot in his heart for peanut butter M&Ms! I miss you guys. What's happening with the whole Cour d'Alene thing? Those cookies look awesome! We'll have to try them. They look just as wicked as cookies are meant to be!

I used to have the most amazing chocolate peanut butter dessert recipe. Maybe it's good that I don't know what happened to it. Both of us are PB and Choc freaks. And my metabolism isn't as nice as Chris's.
