After making these little tasties, I shared them with a friend of mine who is nuts about those really awful PB cups, & guess what? He grudgingly admitted that these were much better tasting, by far! Thank you so much for a great treat & a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]

Born and raised in Vermont, I now reside on the western border of Toronto, Ontario. It's beautiful here!
With 5 children grown and gone, I have lots of time in my kitchen - just my husband & I to feed!! It keeps the neighbors happy as I'm constantly knocking at door's with a plate of goodies in hand!
Previously a teacher of theraputic crafting & a chocolatier (Sweet Impressions in NB doing molds, carvings & individual chocolates), I am now designing needlework and loving it!
I have a large cupboard of cookbooks, downsized when I moved into this condo (I did have an actual CLOSET of cookbooks!) I think nothing of curling up with a good cookbook read! My children enjoy the same and have large and varied collections of their own.
