Made these primarily as a taste test to see how they'd be for the next round of winter holidays, & believe me, they passed the test ~ If you're a PB-loving chocoholic, THESE ARE GREAT & much better than anything purchased! Thanks for a wonderful keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]

Hi! My name is Julia. I am the Exec. Director for the Hiwassee Chapter American Red Cross. I spend most of my time working and keeping up with my teenage daugher. So mealtime must be fast and easy.
On the most part, I don't like to cook. As they say " What's for dinner?" Answer: Reservations.
Cooking is however, a necessary part of everyones life. So, I thought this would be a great place to store the few recipes that I have acquired over the years. They are all super simple and definitely not original. Who knows, maybe I will get into this cooking thing and decide to do more of it. (Not!)
