Naughty Peanut Butter Pie

I fed this to the Elders & the Dixon Family last night. There were no leftovers.
This is not a healthy desert but it will fill you with complete pleasure as you indulge...

1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust
1 jar Hot Fudge
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 T. milk
1/2-1 cup crushed peanut butter cups
1 package whipped topping, thawed

1. Spread a thin layer (or a thicker layer if you're feeling really naughty) of hot fudge in the pie crust. Set aside.
2. Cream together cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter and milk. Mix in peanut butter cups.
3. Spread into pie crust on top of fudge. Let pie chill in fridge/freezer until firm.
4. Add another thin (or thick) layer of fudge on top of peanut butter filling. Top with whipped topping.
5. Keep chilled in fridge until ready to serve.
6. Enjoy with a glass of milk!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Toast

Here is the recipe for my toast Alison liked so much. It's really, really easy and really, really good, especially if you want a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and don't have one:

1 slice white bread
1 tbs smooth peanut butter (more or less to taste)
10-15 milk chocolate chips (more or less to taste)

Toast bread in toaster. Immediately smooth peanut butter on toast and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Eat right away. If you're craving more sugar, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top, too.

Crock Pot Chocolate Pudding Cake

This is the most heavenly sinful chocolate creation I have ever made. For the ultimate diet-busting experience, I recommend serving this cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

1 chocolate cake mix
1 3.9 oz box instant chocolate pudding
2 cups sour cream
4 eggs
1 cup water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chocolate chips - The original recipe only calls for 1 cup, but I always throw in the whole 2-cup bag.

In a mixing bowl combine everything except the chocolate chips. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into a greased 5-qt. slowcooker. Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. The top may be a little gooey where the pudding "ices" the cake. I've also cooked this in the oven in a 9x13 pan for an hour at 350, but I think it's much yummier cooked in the crockpot.

Ember-Kates

Emberlee and I were making some really good gooey chocolate chip cookies one day and decided to add everything in her pantry! At first I was calling them our "everything cookies." But we decided to name our sweet little creation after ourselves. ;) So now we call them "Ember-Kates." Ember after Emberlee of course, and Kate after my own nickname. But just like a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, it doesn't matter what you call these cookies...they're the best thing since sliced bread!
Here's the recipe...

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all- purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt1 cup butter - softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 extra large eggs (or 2 large eggs with one large egg yolk)
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup white chocoalte chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup chopped Ande's chocolate mints
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
(Like I said earlier, we really put everything available in Emberlee's pantry into these cookies!)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, set aside.
Cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Do not over beat mixture.
Add eggs one at a time, combining well after each addition.
Gradually stir in flour mixture.
Stir in all chocolate & butterscotch chips and nuts, in 2 or 3 additions, mixing well.
Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes, until lightly browned and centers have just set - they should look almost a bit underdone.
Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes to cool before moving to wire racks to finish cooling.
Enjoy your ooey, gooey, tastey Ember-Kates!

I posted this "recipe" on my facepage...but maybe it will get more viewship here. The easiest treat ever.

Chocolate Rice Krispie treats

1/3 c. butter
1 package of chocolate marshmallows
6 cups cocoa krispies/puffs
Melt butter and marshmallows together; add cocoa puffs; spread in a pan. Eat the whole pan!
I discovered chocolate marshmallows at Target. I haven't seen them at Kroger. I think they are new...or I'm just clueless.
