No Bake Dessert for Summer Peanut Butter Cups

Here is a yummy recipe that I've made for  Christmas usually, but I dug it out of my mountain of recipes yesterday for a no bake dessert during the heat.  I hate using my oven in the summer, so I'm pretty sure I'll be making this more often in the hot months rather than just at Christmas time.   I know my peanut butter loving husband will be pleased with that decision.  
 This is all that is left from yesterday.  Trust me, they will go fast!

2 sticks of margarine or butter which ever you prefer.  I use butter, that is all I bake or in this case no-bake with.  
1 lb. powdered sugar (3 1/2 cups)
1/3 lb. graham crackers crushed (11 full crackers)
2 cups of peanut butter  (chunky is what the recipe calls for but I never have that so again it's your preference of creamy or chunky)
12 oz. package of chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate but once again you choose the kind you like)

Mix the first four ingredients together well and spread in a 9 X 13 pan.  Melt the chips and spread over the peanut butter mix.  I put them in the fridge for about ten minutes to let the chocolate set a tad and then cut into squares and EAT!  
Real easy and real good!

OMG!!! The best chocolate cake ever!


Triple Chocolate Layer Guiness Cake.  Chocolate and Guiness, I knew when I found this recipe it was the perfect thing for Kevin's birthday.  I'm not the best at frosting cakes and I was in a hurry to get this on the table for my sweetheart.  But looks aren't everything.  This really is a most excellent cake and I don't really care for chocolate cake normally.  I got this recipe from Hope Studios.

Yummy Mummy!



These are the cupcakes I sent to school for Emma's birthday.  They were so easy!  I found them here at Hope Studios.

Sweet delight


I have had a craving for lemon squares lately, and luckily (for my tastebuds not my hips and thighs) I happened upon a wonderful site a few days ago called Bakerella.com   So I had to make the lemon squares recipe that was on there.  It was delish!!  The girls loved them and I think we will be making them more often.  Check out all the really great ideas that are on the site.  I'm going to try the cake pops for Emma's birthday treat at school.  I want to try the pumpkin pie bites too!
