I’ve been a baking fool this week, and made these two yum-yum-good desserts, so am sharing the recipes with y’all…
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars
with Chocolate Chips
1 stick butter (margarine would work, too)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Mix all ingredients above. Bake at 350 degrees in 9×13 pan for 20 minutes. While dough bakes, mix up glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter
1-2 TBsp milk
When you remove pan from oven, top with 1 cup chocolate chips while the base is still hot. When the chocolate starts to melt, drizzle over the glaze and blend together with a spatula. Cool before cutting (if you can resist the temptation) and enjoy.
1 cup Coca-Cola (I used Shasta Cola)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup margarine (one stick)
3 TBsp cocoa
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk (can substitute 1/2 c milk with 1/2 tsp vinegar)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
In a saucepan, bring cola, oil, margarine and cocoa to a boil. Mix sugar, flour and salt in bowl. Pour in boiling liquid. Add eggs, buttermilk, soda and vanilla. Pour into a greased floured 9×13 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Yes, I know I’ve been slacking on the videos. My microphone has been playing tricks on me. But I have been accumulating quite the collection of freebies! Let’s see what all I have in my free USPS priority box (I do plan to use this box to mail out out Amanda’s prize)…
All Current Walmart Free Sample Offers I received Tampax tampons, Huggies baby wipes, Garnier Nutritioniste deep wrinkle treatment, Jergens Naturals daily moisturizer, PUR magnetic notepad, Viva paper towels. Walmart freebies are usually only available for a short time, so check their frequently for new offers!
Free Disney Cruise Planning Kit / DVD I would love to take my kids on a Disney cruise! I better get on that as soon they will be too old to want to go!
Pepsi / Frito-Lay Coupons that I received from their latest rebate offer. Be sure to check out all current rebate forms – you can score lots of good free stuff as long as you remember to mail in the forms!
If you already subscribe to All You Magazine, look on page 35 in the newest issue (pink cover with flowers) for a coupon for Free Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara (up to $5.47).
