Creamy Peanut Butter Topped Brownie

Well... Christopher loves, loves, loves brownies so I am continually trying to find new things to do with them.  Things to add, mix in, top with or things to just completely transform them all together.  Because..... Chris loves brownies and I love Chris.

And.... I love Peanut Butter!  So what could be better than combining brownies and peanut butter??  Yumm!   I looked around and found something similar on Pinterest.  I looked at that recipes and it called for Peanut Butter chips.  I'm not a fan, so I improvised and dabbled to make my own.  However, you want to try the other recipe, here's the link:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/brownies-with-peanut-butter-fudge-frosting/detail.aspx

However.... here's mine.  Mmm Mmm Mmm.



SO EASY:
1) Make your favorite brownie mix like normal.  (Yes, from a box.... why not?)

2) Mix together in a bowl: roughly 2 to 2 1/2 cups of your favorite peanut butter (Jif is awesome, for me!) a whole can of Sweetened Condensed Milk and a few Tbsp of milk.  Use a hand mixer or your arm will get tired very quickly... that peanut butter is thick!  Add in the milk a few Tbsp at a time until it's a nice, spreadable and wonderful creamy consistency.

3)  Once the brownies have cooled slightly, top with PB goo.  The brownies can be a little warm, but if it's too warm then the PB will just slide right off.... no good.

Slice & Eat!
Yummy!!  

Chris was very happy to get some brownies..... just make sure you have a nice glass of milk to drink with it.  You'll need it!!

Enjoy!

Better Than Sex Cake.... Really?

Well.... I've heard about it quite a bit, I've done my research and found many different recipes for it - like most delicious desserts, there are many ways to put it together.  I have to admit - this cake was totally yummy however I can't totally stand behind the given name.  But it sure was better than something... hm.  Here's the version of this cake that I tried... hope you enjoyed it, too!!

** Picture came out so blurry... what a shame! **


INGREDIENTS: 
Chocolate cake (& necessary items to make said cake)
1 can sweetened condense milk
1 small jar of hot fudge topping / sauce
1- 8 oz tub of Cool-Whip
4-5 crushed Health bars

DIRECTIONS:
1) Make cake according to directions on the box

2) Once out of the oven, while still warm, poke large holes all over the top with handle of wooden spoon.  Poor whole can of sweetened condensed milk over the whole cake.  Let it cool completely.

3) Pour fudge topping over the whole top of the cake in an even layer.  Next spread on a layer (thick or thin) of the Cool Whip and then top whole cake with the crunched up Heath bars.

That's it.... Yumm, huh?  I really enjoyed this cake, and also got a number of different ideas on new cakes while making this one.  When I try one of my idea-creations, I'll definitely post them on here and let you know if it's good or fail.  Hehehe - either way, in my house, it'll get eaten.

Hope you're cake is better than something.... 
Just not better than sex.
That'd be a shame!
