Oh, I love peanut butter balls, but changed the recipe to milk chocolate instead of semi sweet! AHHHHHHH chocolate.......

Oh, and the shortbread cookies with the peanut butter cups mushed in the middle. But I've never made them.....

All my receipes are on my other computer and it isn't on right now. Let me google. It's pretty standard.

I do know when I changed to milk chocolate I left off the parifin and used candy making chocolate. I just didn't care for the parafin added in.

Don't get me wrong... I will eat it... just prefer the candy making chocolate.

We make and decorate shortbread cookies, also almond cookies, rum balls, fudge, lebkuchen, and whatever else I get roped into making. It's fun, though.

RIP Gordon, you can safely buy green bananas again.

What is a cake in a jar? Sounds interesting. I have never heard of sad cake either? I love baking.

I'm baking as I type this. This actually is one of the first times I've sat down today. Me and a girlfriend have made today: 4 batches of peanut butter blossoms, 3 batches of haystacks, 4 batches of peanut brittle, 3 batches of white trash, and a huge batch of chocolate covered pretzels. I'm going to be working on magic cookie bars tonight and almond raspberry thumbprints.

There is a fine line between being enthusiastic and being obnoxious. I call that line Richard Simmons.

Its a cake baked in a wide mouthed canning jar. When they come out of the oven, you add a canning lid and they seal and keep for awhile.

Sad cake is a breakfast type cake. It's called Sad cake because it rises so pretty and falls when it cools. It has bisquick, brown sugar (an entire box!), eggs, nuts and coconut. It smells wonderful when cooking.

I love haystacks!!! I haven't made magic cookie bars in sometime. It was my pig out food in high school. I would either make magic cookie bars (we call them hello dollies) or goey cake.
