The little man and I braved the mall this morning for some last minute holiday shopping. Wow. It. Was. Busy.
But I love it. Some people hate the hussle and bussle, but we made a morning out of it and then met his god momma at Panera for lunch. Can't beat Panera! I had my usual, Pick 2, Smokehouse Turkey Panini with a cup of Broccoli Cheddar Soup. The little man enjoyed macaroni and cheese with a side of blueberry yogurt.
He didn't complain.
Now we are home for the day. Last night I made up TWO pans of homemade enchiladas (one chicken, one beef) and a mean taco dip for dinner tonight. The in-laws are coming and I figured they are driving here, it's cold out, a nice hot mexi-dinner sounds good.
Maybe I'll share???
Enough of my day...bring on the peanut butter! These are like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, but homemade and much better. I give my props to Jenelle for the recipe:)
Peanut Butter Balls
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 T. butter
1 c. powdered sugar, sifted
melting chocolate
Cream butter and peanut butter together in a bowl. Slowly mix in powdered sugar. Form into small balls, place on wax paper and allow to dry (usually about 15-20 minutes). Dip in melted chocolate (white and chocolate almond bark is what we used), place on wax paper and let dry.
These freeze well, so make a batch today for your next holiday gathering...I mean, it's only 4 ingredients!
I hate bite size things like thing as I always feel I can eat more of them! I could eat like 30 of these! They look SO good!
ReplyDeleteCan I come over for dinner? Sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteLike you I love the hustle and bustle of the malls around the holidays. My mom and I always go to the mall on Christmas Eve just for the fun of it! Most people think I'm crazy :)
ReplyDeleteThose peanut butter balls look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI really wish we had a Panera around here so I could try it out!
I am adding these to the list of goodies I need to make!

ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make these but she put rice crispies in them. They were very good. Also she used chocolate chips and wax to dip them in. I imagine that the melting chocolate has wax in it nowdays.
