  4. Betsy, thanks to you, since I found your blog....my recipe box is growing. I love the new recipes you share, and I've tried most of them.

    This will be another one I try. The family are coming next Sunday for a BBQ to celebrate my birthday and Mother's Day, so I think that would be a good time to introduce the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies!!

    Again, you have displayed them so beautifully, I want to reach in the screen and take one!!

    We will enjoy!

  16. The fact that you can actually see the peanut butter cups on the top are a testimony to how good they must be. My hubby wouldn't be able to eat them because of his gout, and he's had a flare-up recently. My kids, on the other hand, I'd have to hide them from. But they have noses, so unless I cut them off, they'd know.
