Triple Treat Cookies

-
Peanut Butter and Chocolate-
what would we do without them?!


♥♥♥♥♥

Last night I decided it's time again to make something good and sweet again. Years ago my Mom had made these delights when we were in Ohio visiting my family. They were sooo good! But for some reason I just never made them here at home. I changed that last night. The kids loved them! One of the boys said,"Man those things are good! I could eat a thousand of them!" While I very much doubt that he could, or that I would even let him get near the number 4 for the day, they are really, really good if you like peanut butter and chocolate, and who doesn't?

I was in the midst of baking when I discovered I had no powdered sugar for the icing. The rest of my clan were all at the batting cages and my van was at the garage so I called my in-laws who live across the street from a grocery store about two miles from here. Yep, you guessed it. Sweet man that he is, my FIL said he'd be happy to help. Thank You Sir! So he brought me some and the show here went on.☺ In all honesty these cookies would not need the icing but... they are really good with it!

And just to clarify to those of you who know us and know that my hubby and I are not eating this kind of thing right now, we both had a bite, that's right =1, and that's all!! ☺


Preheat oven to 350°.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all purpose flour (Gold Medal)
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix sugar and butters until very light and fluffy.


Add eggs and mix well.

Add baking soda and salt, stir again till mixed.

Add flour and mix well, scraping sides and mixing well again.

And last but not least mix in the chocolate chips.

Using a size 50 cookie scoop, drop onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake.


Filling:
½ peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk
2 Tablespoons soft butter
2-3 cups powdered sugar

Put all the filling ingredients into mixer bowl and beat.

Spread filling on the bottom of one and place another on top making a sandwich.

Enjoy!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
