    Happy Friday! It’s an even happier Friday this week because I’ve got a great giveaway for you!

    Peanut Butter Squares

    from Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook

    • ¾ cup firmly packed dark or light brown sugar
    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • ½ cup salted butter (softened)
    • 2 cups smooth peanut butter
    • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
    • 1 tablespoon salted butter
    1. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, powdered sugar, butter, and peanut butter, and beat them with an electric mixer until they are smooth and well blended. Pat into an ungreased 15 ½ x 10 ½ x 1-inch pan. Roll the mixture flat on top with a rolling pin.
    2. Melt the chocolate chips and butter on top of a double boiler or in the microwave. Spread the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture and cut into squares while the chocolate is still warm and soft.
    3. Chill the mixture for about 15 minutes and remove the squares from the pan.

      Favourite holiday treat? A cruel question to someone who loves to bake. But I will go with shortbread. REally good, rich, buttery shortbread.

      My favorite holiday treat is probably the homemade caramel-filled candies my mom and I used to make.

      I love peanut butter and chocolate. We may be making those for our family fun night tonight! My favorite holiday treat would be my aunt’s pumpkin pie!

      My favorite holiday treat have always been buckeyes, though I’ve never made them myself! Every year for as long as I can remember, a family friend has always brought over a plate of goodies, including buckeyes. :D

      It’s a toss up between apple pie which I seriously can’t get enough of or these bite size delicious peppermint cookies that I’ve yet to make this year… soon though!
