Muffins loaded with chocolate and peanut butter make my mouth water!

I love making muffins and have ever since my mama showed me how when I was a young girl. Mom would always have a ton of recipes for muffins and cupcakes. my siblings and I enjoyed baking with her. One of the best muffin recipes that she had in her big recipe book was for chocolate and peanut butter muffins.

I called my mother up the other day to see if I could get that recipe from her and she said she no longer had her recipe book. What?!?! Well, apparently when my mom and dad moved into a new house the recipe book got lost in the shuffle. How sad 🙁

So, I decided to go and find the recipe for myself and I did! These 5k chocolate and peanut butter muffins from twig And feather turned out fantastic.

Quick Tip: I like to eat these muffins in the morning with my coffee.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good brownie recipe.

This brownie recipe is extra-special because it includes cream cheese, peanut butter, and toffee. Now, is there really any flavor combination that is better than that?

Nope, not really. These little treats are like the kings of the brownie world. There is everything we all love included in this recipe. I made these once for my son’s school class during a fall party and all of the children loved them.

It was definitely a huge hit! If you were to make these brownies, would you keep them for yourself or share them with friends? I have made a double batch of these luscious little things before because I know how fast they tend to go.

You can make a larger batch than what is described below but I do not recommend freezing them as the cream cheese tends to do weird things when frozen.

Quick Tip: Serve these brownies with ice cream. Yum!

Every now and then I run into a recipe that makes me laugh. And I mean that in the most positive way. This recipe is one of them! How could you not laugh at sweet treats that look like monkey poop? To be honest with you, I have no idea what real monkey droppings look like, but I would assume the description here is pretty accurate. Actually, now I’m so intrigued I may have to Google it later on, haha!

Whether these banana and peanut butter sweets look like the real thing or not, they sure are delicious! And compared to many store-bought treats these are also much healthier. No processed sugar, mashed bananas and unsweetened coconut flakes – such lovely flavors that are perfect for freezing. Oh yes, I haven’t even mentioned that you’re not going to have to bake these! These would make a lovely party treat, and they are so much fun to make together with your kids.

Quick Tip: You can use almond butter instead of peanut butter.

Last month we were in New York City. It was my husband’s fifth time in the city, but it was my first. We went to the city with both of my sisters who had been there once before as well. Since everyone I was going with had seen the city before, they had their ideas about what they wanted to do and where we should eat. As we found more and more delicious places to eat, we had a hard time narrowing it down.

Finally, we found a restaurant that served the warm food we needed. It had grilled cheese and tomato soup and lots of coffee. When we were done eating all of that (oh, and some amazing parmesan coated tater tots!), we decided we wanted dessert. They had only one on the menu but we figured we would go with it. It was a Reese’s cake. It was a vanilla and chocolate swirled cake that had chunks of Reese’s spread throughout. I was hesitant at first because I was not so sure I would really enjoy it, but gosh it was good.

Quick Tip: Never frost a cake until it has completely cooled.

I am not a fan of caramel. It gets stuck in between my teeth and no amount of excessive brushing can immediately remedy the situation. It’s also a bit too sweet for my moderately sweet tooth. But when caramel is combined with something else that can balance its excessive sweetness, I become a fan, even if temporarily. Chocolate, despite its own sweetness, has that bitter bite to it. So when it’s mixed with caramel to make a one of a kind dessert, everything just tastes heavenly to me.

Just like this recipe that I found from Mel’s Kitchen. But, it doesn’t only combine caramel with chocolate; it also gives it a new twist by adding the slightest bit of texture— the crunchiness. And that, my friends, is what makes a really good caramel bar!

Quick Tip: You can put pieces of these bars on top of your ice cream.

One of my favorite candies during the holidays is homemade chocolate peanut butter fudge. I could eat an entire pan of this stuff by myself. However, I have to have some level of self-control, or my pants wouldn’t fit me anymore.

There are times throughout the year that I seriously crave fudge but don’t want to go through all of the hassles of making it. You know, the cooking, the stirring, the dirty pots and pans to scrub. What’s a girl to do when it isn’t Christmas, and she’s craving fudge? Make my recipe for uncooked fudge, of course! You guys are going to love this.

Quick Tip: Just because it isn’t Christmas doesn’t mean you can’t wrap this lovely fudge up and share it with your neighbor 🙂

Who doesn’t love peanut butter and chocolate? It’s a classic dessert combination that never gets old. The silky smooth and slightly salty peanut butter combines perfectly with the rich and sweet chocolate. This tart has buttery and tender shortbread cookies as the crust. It’s topped with rich and creamy peanut butter and then a chocolate ganache that is just decadent. It’s rich, but oh so delicious.

In fact, this recipe is inspired by the Girl Scout cookies Tagalongs. The best part about making this tart instead of the cookies is that you can have it any time of the year – no need to conserve those precious Girl Scout cookies so they last as long as possible. You can also make this the way you like it. If you like your chocolate a little darker, mix half dark chocolate chips in.

No matter what, you can’t go wrong with this absolutely delicious peanut butter and chocolate tart.
