Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
There is a deli near my house that makes the most amazing chocolate peanut butter bars. I have been trying to come up with a copycat version of them for some time & this recipe is pretty much it. I thought they would be a great dessert to make for the bake sale, as chocolate/peanut butter desserts are very popular & these are super simple & don't require any baking! I cut them into 2" bars for the sale, but 1" bite-sized bars would be ideal, as they are very rich.They sold out faster then anything else at the sale...I wish I had made more. To begin, grease a standard sized brownie pan with non-stick cooking spray & line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang {for easy removal}. In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, add a 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar {packed}, 2 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar, a 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, & 1 3/4 cups of smooth peanut butter. Beat until smooth, then dump the mixture out into the pan,

2 Stews: Cheesecake In A Mug
I was telling a friend about my 1-2-3 Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake and kept thinking there had to be equally easy and delicious alternatives. I had some cream cheese and sour cream in the refrigerator and played around with a microwave cheesecake. The first time I overcooked it, but the second time was a charm. It was creamy and delicate from the first bite. This cake is great for people at work, in dorms or if you just want cheesecake...fast! Instead of a crust, I added a crumb topping. Microwave Mug Cheesecake 2 ounces low fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature1/2 cup low fat sour cream1/4 teaspoon vanilla2 tablespoons sugar2 tablespoons egg white, slightly beaten (egg whites in a carton work fine)1/2 teaspoon lemon juice1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (prevents liquid from forming) For "mix ins", add 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips, or swirl in (not stir) 1 tablespoon jam of choice. or swirl in jam at this time. Microwave on medium for 2 1/2 minutes* (in a 650 watt microwave).
I’m rich, I’m rich! Thousand Dollar Bars | King Arthur Flour - King Arthur Flour – Baking Banter
Have you ever baked something that made you do the Daffy Duck? You know, the cartoon scene where Daffy runs about yelling, “I’m rich, I’m rich, whoop, whoop, yippee, I’m rich!” He’s bouncing around on his head, feet, hands, and rump in a spastic outpouring of sheer joy. Yep, the Daffy Duck. Not everything we bake here in the kitchen gets us to do the Daffy Duck. On a bad day, we do the wine taster (small taste and a spit) or the Emily Post (napkin over mouth, remove offending food, weak smile). But on a really really good day, we do the Happy Dance (personal taste rules here;mine includes foot stomping and mmm mmm noises); and the Daffy Duck. These Thousand Dollar Bars did just that for us here at KAF. These bars definitely remind people of Twix® bars, both in shape and taste, but OH, so much better when top-end caramel and chocolate is used. So, break out your happy dancin’ shoes, and let’s make Thousand Dollar Bars. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Prick the dough all over with a fork.
Fold a fir tree
Dangling fir trees – light for hanging, and impressive when you look at them. You need a square base folded by the middle and the diagonals (see how on the picture). The difficult part is at the beginning, steps (1) and (4), (5) and (6), where the folded part has to be opened and folded inside. Cut the lower part with scissors. Make 5 symmetrical cuts at the two sides and start folding one after another, and your fir tree is ready.
