Chocolate Drugs

First of all, no, these are most certainly not drugs (I can see it now, Anna Gray giving a drug recipe...haha. No). However, the title does give a good description of how addicting these suckers are.

These are easy. quick. no bake. and most of all, fantabulous tasting. If you think about eating maybe one or two of them, think again. You will want to eat about five or six.

I whipped up a batch of these cookies this evening and thought it would be the perfect time to take a few photos and share the recipe. Here is what you will need/need to do, dear friends.

1 stick of butter

1/2 cup of milk

3 tablespoons of cocoa

2 cups of sugar

^(Mix together in a saucepan on medium-hi. Stir constantly until smooth)

Step #2

1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla

3 to 3 1/2 cups of oatmeal

^(Combine with the ingredients above, all of it in a bowl off the heat and stir)

Form into balls and place them on a baking sheet (a pizza pan works too!) and let them set for approx. fifteen to twenty minutes

If you want to, you could add a signature touch like so...

Bon Appétit!

Bran Muffins

Hello friends! Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I have just been very busy with school lately and haven't really had much time to post. So, since I can post right now, I am going to post a very yummy, easy to make, and healthy a good for breakfast recipe that all of us three of us in the Smith house like to eat sometimes, called Bran Muffins. Here is the recipe for them...

(Be sure to get a large mixing bowl to mix everything up in)

1) 15 oz of Bran Flakes (or Raisin Bran)

2) 3 cups of sugar

3) 5 cups of plain flour

4) 5 tsp of baking soda

5) 2 tsp of salt

6) 4 eggs (beaten)

7) 1 qt of buttermilk

8) 1 cup of vegetable oil

After you mix up all of the ingredients, stick it in your refrigerator and let it get cold overnight. The next day, when you're ready to have a muffin, turn your oven on Bake 400 degrees, fill up a 2/3 cup with the batter, put them in a muffin pan, stick them in the oven for 15 minutes (or longer if they aren't done), and then...ENJOY! (Great with either butter, jelly, or cream cheese inside).
