PEANUT BUTTER BLONDIES and a thank you

These peanut butter blondies are dense, moist and packed full of peanut butter flavor; they are the consistency of a good brownie and would make an excellent addition to any lunch box, bake sale or weekend treat served with a big glass of cold milk.

½ cup peanut butter
1/3 cup butter (room temperature)
2/3 cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream the peanut butter and butter together; beat in the sugars, eggs and vanilla just until well mixed. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix just until everything is well mixed.
,
Bake in a greased 9" x 9" baking pan at 350F for 30 to 35 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched (my oven took 34 minutes). Frost and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Cool before cutting.
.
PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING
½ cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons milk
Warm the peanut butter in the microwave just until it gets very soft, then whip everything together, starting with the lesser amount of milk and adding more if necessary.

Thank you very much for all of the warm birthday sentiments. Your kind and generous words made my (potentially traumatic) 60th birthday a lot easier for me. Thank you friends!!

Peanut Butter Syrup

I whipped this up this morning, and Im pretty thrilled with it! Let me know if/when you try it and what you think :)

Ingredients:

1/2 c. maple syrup (the real deal)
1/4 c. natural peanut butter
1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/4 c. honey
1/2 t. salt
cinnamon to taste (opt)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low, until salt is dissolved and syrup begins to boil. Remove from heat, stir well and serve warm.

Goes great with pancakes (duh), or waffles (duh again), but Im positive it would be totally awesome over some vanilla ice cream. *B
