Peanut Butter Blocks

"These are absolutely fabulous! If you like peanuts and peanut butter, you will love these! As easy as these are to make, they will make fantastic Christmas treats! Also wrap them in foil or tinted plastic wrap, and set them out around the living room or kitchen for guests to help themselves. You may as well double or triple the recipe, because these will disappear fast! I received a zmail inquiring about the candy coating. It's sometimes called "bark" and can be found where the baking items are, and sometimes you can find it out in the open as a display, including powdered sugar, evaporated milk, marshmallows, etc. I think there's only choc. and vanilla. It's used to make dipped pretzels, and so on."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05. My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him. I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here. I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more. Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact. I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
