Peabody and the Giant Peanut Butter Cup…

giantpeanutbuttercup3

Ever have so much to do that you choose to accomplish nothing? This seems to be me as of late. Only problem is it doesn’t really work. :) Procrastination is only your friend during the procrastination part…it’s the part that comes after that’s not so great. I’m procrastinating now by putting this post up. :P When we were in Idaho there was a chocolate shop that we stopped into to get some huckleberry ice cream from. They had giant peanut butter cups. I looked at them and thought, I could do that. They seemed to be made in mini tart pans. I thought I have those. What you can do and what you should do of course are two different things. :) Making giant peanut butter cups is actually pretty easy especially because I didn’t temper the chocolate because well, I was eating/using them right away. But then I had giant peanut butter cups at home. Calling my name. Oh and to answer the question just how giant are those cups…see the last photo with the Hello Kitty Band-Aids to … [Read more...]

Thank goodness for other bloggers….

I’m sure it comes as no shock to people that after running a blog for almost 8 years you often run out of ideas. So I am so thankful for other bloggers and for the invention of Pinterest. Now I usually try and put my own spin on it…and that’s how these bars came about. Heather over at Sprinkles Bakes (have you bought her book yet…you should) made a killer looking concoction that she was calling and Overloaded Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake and it looked fantastic. But I was going to hockey and needed something portable to take to my hockey team and cake doesn’t not travel well. So my mind got to thinking and I came up with these bars: One layer of Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie, Covered with a layer of homemade Malted Peanut Butter Cup Filling, Topped with Mini Marshmallows, and then topped with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Topping. So yeah, they are awesome. As I am sure Heather’s cake is as well. You might notice that I’ve had to add my name to all … [Read more...]

Everything but….

Happy Friday all...just a quick post (with recipe!) to tell you that the random chosen winner of the Harry and David Gift Basket was Stephanie who wrote: "I’m going to have to go with probably the most common answer – Cadbury creme eggs. Oh and Reese’s eggs." She has already been notified and I give a heartfelt congrats to her. If you didn't win you never know what will be given away next on here so you could always have a chance. :) This isn't a peanut butter cup recipe but it does have peanut butter in it and it's a great throw together weeknight meal. You can use any pasta shape you want but penne was all I had at the time. If you are vegetarian you can easily leave out the chicken.   … [Read more...]

The Disclaimer…

First a disclaimer: You are going to hate me and love me at the same time for giving you this recipe. That is all. Moving on. As previously discussed there has been quite a few new readers to my site and with that comes a ton of questions so I’m going to do a quick little about me/this blog to catch people up to speed and if you are a long time reader consider it your refresher course and you might learn something new. :D Peabody: Yep that is my first name. Good thing is when someone shouts it out in a crowd I’m pretty much guaranteed they are calling for me. Which is cool…unless it’s a gunman. MDP: My fiancé name on this blog. I am the only one who gets a name on this blog. Stands for My Defensive Partner because we play ice hockey together as defensive partners. He has two wonderful teenagers (twin boy and girl) that we have every other weekend and on Wednesday s (and we get his 9 year old former step son on that day as well). CCS and LFB: CCS is Crazy Cocker … [Read more...]
