Sweet, sweet, sweet!

Ok, so my good friend Nichole brought me a treat on Friday. It was this peanut butter cup, cookie, cupcakey thing, with icing too! It was yummy and I saved part of it because I knew my sweet tooth husband would relish in this treat. That he did. Friday night he tells me we need to make some of those "things" Nichole made. He proceeds to go to the store by the ingredients and hands them to me. Now, we only made a few because for 1, I didn't know how hot or how long to cook them, (Nichole was at work) and 2 they are very rich! They turned out great and he wants me to make him some more today. Why not, what's a few extra calories on top of Pioneer Woman's Chicken Parmesan, and homemade banana cake? Anywho, here is what we did, but I know I have seen these on someone's amazing blog and I can't seem to find them so please someone tell me how these are done and who besides the amazing Nini (Nichole) should receive credit?

Place one peanut butter cup in a cupcake liner, add one mound of PB cookie dough, and bake at 325 for about 15 to 20 minutes. That's it. We even used Pillsbury Simply Peanut Butter refrigerated cookie dough, which are the perfect size for the cupcake liners. Now, Nichole had buttercream frosting on hers, and last night we didn't use any frosting, and today I am going to try drizzling the tops with melted chocolate, we'll see and I'll be sure to let you know how they turn out. Back to baking ttyl.

Let the countdown begin...

Can not believe school starts next week, yikes!!! Where oh where has the summer gone? This is our last weekend before Sundays turn into prepare for Monday days and evenings become homework, dinner, bath and bed times. Since I haven't updated my blog since March, I vow to do better this school year with lots of pictures and funny stories to tell, (we'll see) but I really am gonna try! Maybe, I will post a summer wrap up of our busy lives in the next few days. Hey maybe I'll even start posting my "slightly underdomesticated" view of decorating, cooking, baking, with just a sprinkle of crafty party planning. Good luck to all teachers, administrators, and students this 2010/2011 school year...stay cool! :-)
