Tasty Tuesday! Peanut Butter Cup Bars

Peanut Butter Cup Bars

These are my favorite bars to eat and to make! They are sooo good and I could probably eat a whole pan by myself in a day or two. They are really easy to make and fun for the kids to help me. If you need a quick bar recipe, give this one a try, but don't say I didn't warn you, you will want to eat the whole pan yourself!

1 lbs powdered sugar
1 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (put them in a bag and let the kids smash away!)

Mix well. Press into a 9x13 pan. Melt 12 ounce package of chocolate chips and spread over the top. Cut before the chocolate hardens.

Tasty Tuesday! Apple Streusel Muffins

Apple Streusel Muffins

One thing that always comes to mind when I think of fall is apples. We usually have plenty of apples for applesauce and pie filling to stock up the freezer and pantry with, but I also like to find some good recipes to use them in fresh. These apple streusel muffins are so good, they are more like a dessert than a muffin! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!


Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples
STREUSEL TOPPING:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cold butter
GLAZE:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons Twin Brook Creamery milk
1 teaspoon butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, butter and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (batter will be stiff). Fold in apples.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over muffins. Serve warm.

I linked this up with Raising Olives, be sure to head over there for more breakfast recipes!

Busy, Busy, Busy

If you all have been wondering what I've been so busy with lately, here you go:

At least I won't have to go the grocery store for quite some time!

Fluff Talk Thursday!

This week's topic: My favorite cloth diaper store

I don't really have one favorite store, so I will list a few of the ones I've purchased from and what I like about them.

1. Abby's Lane always has free shipping!

2. Kelly's Closet has a great blog with a TON of info and great coupons to use in their store.

3. Bum-Ware has one of my favorite diapers.

4. Cute Caboose has some great deals and coupons if you sign up for their newsletter.

If you want to see which stores Beth and others like head on over to Happily Domestic and check them out!

Fluff Talk Thursday Friday

Sorry, I'm a day late, but I've been insanely busy and didn't get around to it yesterday. Better late than never though, right?

This week's topic is Cloth Diaper Accessories. My favorite accessory is definitely the diaper sprayer! I don't think I would have even attempted cloth diapers if I hadn't found out about the sprayers. It is a hose and sprayer (similar to the one found in most kitchen sinks) that attatches right to your toilet's on/off valve and it makes dealing with poopy diapers so easy. No dunking/swirling/soaking, just spray it off and throw it in the diaper pail! If you are looking to get one, Happily Domestic is having a giveaway for one right now! If you don't win that one, I found mine at Abby's Lane for only $31.99. It is worth every penny!
