Triple P Surprise (Peggy's Pretzel Peanut Butter)

I bought a huge bag of Pretzel Crisps a few months ago at Costco. I couldn't believe how good they were, considering they were pretzels. After awhile I was getting a little bored with them so I started putting a little peanut butter on each one. Not exactly the healthiest way to eat pretzels, but they were delicious. I thought there's got to be something else I can do with these pretzels. Yesterday I bought another huge bag of Pretzel Crisps and I finally figured out what it was missing: CHOCOLATE! These taste so good that my daughter decided they tasted better than the chocolate chip cookies she made yesterday. There is just the right amount of sweet, salt and peanut butter. I guarantee that if you take these to a party, they will be a hit. Let me know what you think!

26 pretzel crisps

peanut butter

2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
(I used semi-sweet but milk chocolate would be
delicious as well)

1 Tbs. shortening

Find 26 whole pretzels. Put the broken ones in a bowl to snack on while you are making these. Spread about 1/8" of peanut butter on one pretzel.

Make a sandwich with another pretzel.

Melt chocolate chips and shortening in microwave on high one minute. Continue melting for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time until completely melted. Dip each pretzel sandwich in melted chocolate. Lift with fork and tap off excess chocolate. Place on waxed paper.

Let chocolate harden If you need it to harden quicker, place in refrigerator. Makes 13.

Quick ... easy ... yummy!

Candy Cane Valentine

If you're like me, you might have a lot of candy canes left over from Christmas. Or, you might wait until they are 90% off and pay next to nothing for a box. I think I paid 20 cents for 44 candy canes. I love being able to take one thing and use it for another. All you need to make this heart is two candy canes and red ribbon. I hot glued the top and bottom of the candy cane. Then I tied a ribbon and curled the ends and glued it to the front of the heart. I took another piece of ribbon, made a loop and tied the bottom and glued it to the back. That's it! Cute! February 20, 2013 Here is my patriotic version. Some friends of mine helped me make over 100 of these last night to hand out at the Veteran's Breakfast that will be held March 2nd in Pepperell, MA. My daughter, Megan and I organized a little variety show for the Veterans. Megan and her sister, Ryan will be dancing along with a lot of their dance friends. There will be a few other acts as wel

The Best Vanilla Cake Ever!

Full credit for the ultimate vanilla cake and vanilla frosting goes to Rosie from Sweetapolita . Not only were the directions really easy to follow, but I made two batches on two different days and they came out exactly the same AND perfect. I have never made a cake this way before. It was backwards from the way I've usually done it. It almost seemed like making pastry for a minute. The only thing I did different was add 1 Tbs. of vanilla bean paste and then 1 Tbs. of vanilla extract.

Strawberry Jam Shortbread Bars

I have lived in my apartment over a year and, little by little, I have been exploring the area of North Andover/Andover, MA. The other day I read that it was the first day of the season for corn. I waited until Ryan came home from work and we headed off to about 3 or 4 farm/farm stands. Some were better than others. I can imagine what they will be like in the Fall. Our favorite was Smolak Farms in North Andover. They had such a cute shop that had lots of specialty food items, homemade donuts and ice cream, etc.. I was able to taste their homemade strawberry jam and I was immediately hooked. I have been collecting different jams lately from Stonewall Kitchen, York, ME . Those samples will get you every time. As soon as I tasted the strawberry jam, I knew I had to get it and make a yummy dessert. I found a recipe online from Recipe Girl , which I have adapted. Enjoy this buttery, sweet, fruity bar.
