Chubby Hubby Bars!

 

so, that is a bowl full of pretzels and peanut butter cups.
and those are the ingredients to the next recipe. Can't go wrong with that right?

A couple weeks ago, Coco and I made these delicious bars and I knew that my brother would love them! My brother was notorious in my family for loving the Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor of Chubby Hubby. I remember when I was little I hated it and thought it was disgusting just because he liked it and the sibling rivalry ran deep. But, when I finally gave up my grudge I realized how amazing it was. His birthday was coming up so I made these again to send to him!




You just bake together all of the ingredients and then layer on some chocolate for the top!

 Unfortunately for me, it got a little hard in the fridge and was quite a struggle to cut up. So after a good half an hour of sawing with various kitchen knives..

I had a couple of bags to send to my brother!

He finally got them a couple days later and he said that they were good, so I guess it was a successful birthday present!

More Halloween Festivities!

Before Halloween, Katie decided we should do more Halloween themed baking so we had a baking extravaganza at her house! I haven't had time to post in a while because of the death that is midterms and papers, but here it is!

so yea... this happened.




we made a chocolate bark and put candy corn, pretzels, oreos, and swirls of peanut butter in it.

obviously some of it got eaten before we were done...

Katie really wanted to take an outdoor picture on the patio, but seeing as all of these lovely pictures come from my iPhone, it didn't turn out as artsy and nice as we'd tried...

But it was delicious!

While that was cooling, we made brownies!


Originally the plan was to make those little ghosts on top with marshmallows and frosting, but then we also decided to make some monsters and pumpkins!

Everything was obviously amazing and it was fun to bake with a ton of people!




I'm sad that Halloween is over but this means its time for Thanksgiving and then CHRISTMAS



so many themed recipes are awaiting...

Peach Crumble Bars

And when I say crumble.. I mean crumble. It's a bit hard to eat as a whole bar, but they are sugary and delicious! I definitely recommend if you have extra peaches around, or really any fruit! I don't see how adding oats, sugar, and butter to anything could turn out badly.

Butterscotch Blondies

With session b beginning soon and the thought of actually having to study, I have planned out a couple of baking ventures just in case I don't have time later. First up was a pan of blondies! I decided to make these semi-homemade by using store bought butterscotch sauce instead of making my own. But, you really can't tell and they are amazing. I cut them into small pieces so that when I happen to eat multiple a day it won't be as bad.. that works right?
