Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars

 This week, Wednesday night is girl's night with Nicole and Jen. We're going to Nicole's place to make dinner and watch Hellcats or some other ridiculously girly show (that I love). Since Nicole put in a request for something with peanut butter, I thought I would contribute some dessert to our get together.

If you love Reese's peanut butter trees, eggs, etc. (the big ones they have during the holidays) and the salty sweet contrast of chocolate covered pretzels, you'll die eating these. The full recipe and verdict  is at the bottom of this post, but read on to see the step-by-step process. Just try not to think about the butter that's in here... that's why it makes more than 16 servings of this rich deliciousness.

I'm taking requests!

If there's anything you want me to make, please leave a comment and I will add it to my list of things to try.  I'm sure my co-workers will appreciate it. 

White Chocolate & Butterscotch Blondies

Happy Birthday Jen!

Since I love to bake, I usually ask my department at work to put in a request for a special baked birthday goodie.  So far this year, I made Angel Food cake (so hard!) for Jess and mini apple pies for Liuva. When I asked Jen what she wanted, she said she wanted something with white chocolate. Now, I don't know about you, but white chocolate is not my favorite ingredient.  I couldn't make white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies because Liuva is allergic to tree nuts.  So I found a recipe for White Chocolate Blondies.  The original recipe called for white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate, but I modified it to become....

 These things are delicious! I have to admit that I was skeptical at first because as I already mentioned, white chocolate is not my favorite.  Anyway, here's how it goes.
