This was very good. I wasn't sure about the cream cheese with peanut butter but it was tasty. I did not use the coconut as I don't care for it. This would be excellent on cinnamon bread or bagels. -
This was really good! It was just what my apples needed to make them seem a bit more of a treat. I especially liked the textural contrast the raisins added (which I thought I might not). Great and simple! -
The peanut butter had a great flavor. I made a second batch minus the the fruit and it made a great spread on toast for breakfast.

This spread is REALLY good! I made it with creamy peanut butter and raisins. Snipping the raisins was NOT fun, but definitely worth it. I didn't have any honey, so I substituted corn syrup. I didn't add the coconut-I didn't think my boys would like it. Served it on crackers. This is going into my recipe collection! Scrumptious!

Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
