Well what can I say except, what can make chocolate any better than to add a little peanut butter? And then it becomes, oh my, goodness gracious.

Rabbit trail alert: I’m sure that some of you all remember the TV commercial from several years ago about two men – one saying, who got peanut butter in my chocolate; then the other one says who got chocolate in my peanut butter. In my thinking, does it really matter, no not at all? I’m just glad that somebody had the brilliant idea and put the two of them together.

Through the years there have been many great and not so great ideas of putting the two of these together in everything from candies all the way to cereal. Hopefully you all will also be glad that I put this yummy dessert together. Maybe way into the future someone will say oh, I’m so glad that lady, you know the one that puts them recipes in the newspaper did that because it’s a keeper. Sending each of you all, lots of love, hugs and blessings, my dearest friends.

God bless you all and enjoy!

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise think on these things.  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. – Philippians 4:6-9
