I have had some time on my hands lately. Not a ton because I like to sleep in. (wink wink) But I am looking for a new job. I have seen a few recipes that I wanted to try and thought now would be a good time!!!
I made some crispy bits chocolate chip cookies!! These were seriously epic. You make a batch of chocolate chip cookies.
Cook only half of them. Make sure they cool.
Break them into pieces.
Put them back in the dough.
Bake them.
They are almost like a twice baked potato but WAY better!!
We had a potluck to go to last weekend. I made some homemade Samoas. (like the Girl Scout cookies) I made these a long time ago but I thought I would make them again!!
Roasted coconut!
Shortbread base!
Coconut caramel topping!
The finally product. The bars were dipped in chocolate and drizzled with a little chocolate on top.
I made some mocha granola for breakfast.
Well January 24th was National Peanut Butter Day. I didn’t know until the 23rd and I was already planning on making the samoas!! Buzzfeed put out a list of 23 Mouth-Watering Peanut Butter recipes.
It wasn’t until a few days later that I actually made something from the list! No Bake Peanut Butter Bars.
I thought they were ok. Dan thought they were great and would eat them again.
I had a friend send me this recipe for caramel brownies with a pretzel bottom. I really wanted to make these but this whole baking thing was getting out of control. I thought perfect…Super Bowl!!! I made these yesterday to take to the Super Bowl party we went to.
Pretzel crust.
Finished product.
These were a BIG hit!! Delicious!!!
What did you make for Super Bowl?
Triathlete Treats 
YUM!!! Wow, I want to eat all of those treats. I don’t even know if I could pick one to start with.
Definitely the caramel brownies!!! 🙂
You weren’t kidding about a lot of baking! Holy Smokes! Totally wish I was your neighbor! I didn’t make anything for the super bowl… I just ate my parents food. Such a good daughter I am. Ha.
I didn’t really realize how much I had baked until I started writing it out!! 🙂
Um those double baked chocolate chip cookies look DIVINE! Are you looking for the same kind of dental hygienist work or something else? In PDX?
They were delicious!!!! 🙂 I wish I had one right now!!! I really wanted to apply at Starbucks or REI or something random (and I still might) but I am looking at hygiene jobs too. it is so hard because I just don’t want to clean teeth anymore!! 😦
I don’t blame you!!! Mouths are kind of gross! :-p
They all look good to me! I tried a new recipe for the Superbowl party we attended…Buffalo Chicken Chili in the Crockpot. It turned out pretty good. I have enough leftovers for our dinner tonight…even better!!
Yes!! I love leftovers!!!
Wow! These look legendary! Mmmm.
So good!! I don’t even do them justice with my photos either!! 🙂
I think it would be nice if u and dan stopped by to visit his house bound mother and brought her something wonderful and chocolate for dessert. She is a terrible need for something sweet chocolate and good.
YUMMY!! I can’t imagine what my waist line would look like if there were that many treats around the house 😉
Right! I need to get on the scale!! 🙂 I think I am pretty much done baking!! We will see how the rest of the week goes!!
YUMMY! I keep thinking I want to bake and then don’t get around to it. Those twice baked cookies look unreal!
They were really good!! I think I baked too much of the dough. I was worried that I didn’t bake enough but in the end it didn’t matter! They were still delicious!
I want them all! But, I really want to try the cookies with the cookies in them.
I make a similar No Bake Peanut Butter Bar but instead of pretzel crumbs, the recipe calls for graham cracker crumbs. The proportions are different, slightly, too but I can’t remember off the top of my head. Maybe 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 cups graham crumbs, 1 cup melted butter, 1 cup peanut butter? And then 1/4 cup butter with 12 ounces chocolate for the top. Anyway, I started making them when Mark and I were dating, and I lived in Indiana and he in L.A. I would send them to him in care packages. I ended up making a bajillion as wedding favors. They are SO good.
Yes!! The 2 bake cookies were amazing!!!
Awesome!! Sound about the same. Dan thought they were a graham cracker crust!!!
Can you come bake for me, please?! 🙂 haha! I’m also on the job hunt… hope you’re having good luck!
I would have to experiment with some gluten free flour!! 🙂 The job hunt is good and bad! I just wish I knew what I wanted to do!!!
My mouth is watering. Samoas are me favorite cookie ever. I might have to try to bake those! Yummy! 🙂
I just found this recipe too! http://www.chef-in-training.com/2014/01/samoa-oreo-cookies/
