Buckeye Bars

I decided to share a treat....

Just in time...

For the Buckeye game on Saturday....

They are one of my favorite chocolate & peanut butter treats.

Buckeye Bars.

A friend shared them a few years ago... 

And I have not found a tastier version yet.  

But before we get to the bars...

Can I get an O-H.....

So let's get started on these bars.

You'll need peanut butter and chocolate...

naturally...

And a couple of other ingredients.

In fact, I bet you have everything you need in your kitchen right now.  

Super simple and fast to make.  

Here is the recipe:

Buckeye Bars

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cups peanut butter

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar.  

for the topping:

1 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

On low heat in a medium size saucepan, melt peanut butter and butter together.

Remove from the heat and add powdered sugar. 

Pat into a 13x9 inch pan.

In a separate smaller saucepan, combine chocolate chip and peanut butter.  

Heat slowly until melted. 

Pour over peanut butter mixture and chill. 

Cut into squares and enjoy.  

If you are a Michigan fan... bad things will happen if you eat these bars.....

Enjoy and let me know if you make them and how they turned out!

Go Bucks!!!

Ohio- The Heart of it All

I made some Ohio cookies.

Simple Ohio Cookies.

For a friend.

Whom I miss.  

She is far away.

Far Far away from Ohio.

I wanted to send her a surprise.

Something that meant something to both of us.

She stayed in Ohio for over a year.

And in that year, I was lucky enough to find a funny, bright and sweet person.

A friend.

I miss laughing with her in the office, seeing her Starbucks cup in hand.

I miss her classic closing- "Okay.. Bye Bye".

I also loved that she wanted to experience everything about Ohio and Columbus.

She really pushed me to fall in love with Ohio all over again.  

I know that we shall see each other again someday.

When I can afford to travel....

To HOLLAND!!

But, in the meantime.

Miss You Sophie!

And Ohio Misses you as well!

Smiles,
Marci
