Cookies and Cream Peanut Butter! Yeah, seriously!

After all the baking I have been doing over the last few weeks, I decided to take it easy this week and make some cookies and cream peanut butter. I first saw this recipe over on Picky Palate's site and thought it looked interesting. I was wrong, it is amazing. Seriously, I don't know if I am ever going to be able to bring myself to eat regular peanut butter ever again! I sent it in to my daughter's preschool for snack with some apples and the kids all loved it, the parents who tried it loved, my skeptical sister-in-law, who took one look at the strange color and raised her eyebrow at me, loved it! Basically, everyone loves it! So go grab yourself a pack of Oreos, some white chocolate chips and a jar of peanut butter and get started. It's super easy and quick and well worth the 5 minutes it will take you to make and the extra 10 it will take you to tear apart your cupboards looking for a lid for the jar you put it in!

Crush up your Oreos...

Melt your chips and 2 Tbps. peanut butter in a double broiler

Mix Oreos, melted chips and peanut butter together

Enjoy!

Cookies and Cream Peanut Butter
from Picky Palate

2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
10 Oreo cookies
1 cup white chocolate chips

First, crush up your Oreo cookies. You can do this a number of ways, by placing them in a ziploc bag and breaking them up by hand or a rolling pin, or you can put them in a food processor.
Note: If you place them in a food processor, try not to over crush them, they should still be kind of coarse with some sizeable chunks. If you do over crush them, no real big deal...just be aware that if you mix the fine crumbs in really well with the peanut butter it makes a weird color...learn from my mistakes people! LOL

Next, melt your chips and 2 Tbsp. of peanut butter over a double broiler or in the microwave.

In a larger bowl, add the 2 cups of peanut butter, the melted chips/peanut butter and the Oreo crumbs. Mix as little or as much as you want. You can leave swirls of Oreo crumbs or mix it until it is all incorporated like I did. Place your peanut butter in a jar and try not to eat it all in 24 hours. Ours has been in the house for 4 days or so, so I guess that means we have some self-control...well at least a few of us do!

Fruit & Nut Granola

I love having granola for breakfast! I remember always wanting to have some granola whenever we had it in the house as a kid, it seemed like the kind of food grown ups ate, sort of like Grape Nuts only way better! The biggest down fall to granola is the really yummy stuff is sort of expensive, especially if it has lots of fruit and nuts, just the way I like it! That's fine though, they can keep their expensive granola because this stuff is so simple to make at home! It takes almost no time and the joys of making it yourself is you know exactly what is going into it and you can customize your ingredients depending on your tastes! Like I said, I love mine with lots of fruit and toasted nuts so I tend to use quite a bit of them in my recipe. Feel free to adjust this to your tastes and try out different ingredients like coconut and various seeds, nuts and fruits. In a medium bowl combine your oats and sunflower seeds. Roughly chop you...

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

As we all know, Halloween is this Sunday and as a result, many schools are having parties and my daughter's preschool was no exception. I had tons of ideas of what I wanted to make, but in the end, me being me, I decided on cupcakes. I went back and forth, from red velvet, to cream filled, until I finally decided to go with some of my all time favorites and make the pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes from Love and Olive Oil . I made these last year in October and brought them to my best friend's house and she fell in love with them, so much so that I made a cake version of them for her party. I had one problem though this time, the frosting listed with the recipe just never turned to frosting. I have made it before and it is delicious and has turned out well both times, but this time I just couldn't get it to work. I don't know if it was because I tried to double the recipe, if I over-heated the egg whites or if I didn't have the mixer speed ...

The cookie that has it all: Double Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies!

So I'm not sure how many of you know how I feel about peanut butter and chocolate but I might have tossed around words like "God's gift to food" or "the most yummiest thing of all time" in the past. Long story short, if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life you can be assured that peanut butter and chocolate would be main ingredients in my choice. That is why I was so captivated by these cookies I saw posted over on Picky Palate 's page. They have chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels...and they are topped with a tiny bit of sea salt, bringing that whole sweet/salty combo that is out of this world! What more could you possible ask for in one small baked good? Nothing I tell you! Well, almost nothing in my opinion. I am not really a fan of white chocolate so I substituted semi-sweet chips for the ones added in but either way these truly are the cookies that have it all! For this recipe you are going to need some broken pre...
