Frozen Peanut Butter Cups

I'm a sucker for anything that even remotely involves peanut butter, so when I saw this I knew I had to purchase it:

However, I didn't want to just make the bars and be done with it. Since it is summer (and thus hot out), I decided to turn it into a frozen dessert.

What you need:
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1 1/3 cup milk


1. Place topping pouch in large bowl of boiling water; set aside.

2. Stir crust mix and butter in a bowl until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press into bottoms of 12 paper-lined muffin cups.

3. Pour milk into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add Filling Mix and Peanut Butter. beat with mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. (Do not underbeat.) Spread over crust.

4. Remove topping pouch from water; shake pouch 1 minute or until topping is fluid and smooth. Drizzle over prepared cups.

5. Freeze 2 hours or until firm. (Or wrap tightly and store in freezer up to 2 weeks.)

Reese's Pieces Chocolate Chip Cookies

When I originally picked these out to make for my coworker Jeff, I though they were peanut butter cookies. I'm not sure why, since clearly they're not. Despite that little self-induced letdown, they were still very good.

X-Rated Goodies

One of my college roomates, Melanie, is getting married next month. Another one of my other college roomates, Jessica, and I were put in charge of baking some erotic treats for the bachelorette party weekend. Here's just a quick glimpse of our creations:

Fruity Condoms:



We made these by wrapping gummy Peach O's in fruit roll ups. These were delicious!

Condom Cookies:


We made these by pressing circles of white sugar cookie dough into pink squares of cookie dough. We then wrote on the cookies with icings.
