Peanut Butter Cup Blondies for Peanut Butter Lovers!

I bet you thought I was kidding when I told you how much I love that sticky, gooey beautiful thing we call peanut butter!  I have had the best time trying new peanut butter recipes and celebrating the old familiar ones.  Peanut butter and jelly sandwich is my favorite sandwich, by the way.

I found these Peanut Butter Cup Blondies on a blog called Gingerbread Bagels.  Lindsey is sweet, funny and quite an impressive baker!  She loves sharing her recipes with her readers  (myself included) and I have had this one tucked away for awhile.

Every blog post that Taylor sees ends with, “Mom, do we have the ingredients to make that?”  I think it’s obvious by now that we are not a pioneers at making new recipes and showering our talents with the world.  We are recipe testers!  And I love every tasty-morsel-mouthwatering minute of it!

We didn’t trick-or-treat on our own neighborhood so I didn’t stock up on candy as much as most people did.  I happened to buy one bag of peanut butter cups.  What a shame- I had to find something to do with them!  We didn’t have one single trick-or-treater.   So I had to be a martyr and find a delicious use for my favorite candy.  The fact that it’s Peanut Butter Lover’s Month is merely a bonus.

I did actually go straight to Lindsey’s blog and see what she had.  I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed.

These blondies are so meltable, moist sweet and perfect.  Soft and chewy, these blondies are sweet and the peanut butter cups give it just the right peanut butter flavor.  They are so good I ended up taking more pics than I originally intended!

Now marvel at my self control when I tell you that I only ate one blondie.  Just one.  I didn’t lick the spatula, I didn’t bite one of the peanut butter cups and I didn’t even bite them as they came out of the oven.  I’m even impressed at my own willpower!  What’s happening to me?!?

Please stop lusting after my blondies for a moment while we continue our discussion about getting yourself “out there” with your blog or business.

If you remember my previous post, I shared a video (although I’m not in it) it was inspiring and an eye-opener for sure!  I have been writing, taking notes and thinking about the message that I am sending.  I want to send the right message and convey it effectively.  Do I expect to be the next big thing to take over the blogging world?  No!  In fact, I really hope not!  I’m not the kind of person that enjoys being the center of attention…another fact about me.

Am I trying to be the next hot featured entrepreneur that is known for her real estate investing skills?  Or even a household name that represents hunger solving super powers?  No.  Believe me I don’t want that kind of attention.

I do want to be known for my hospitality associated with cooking and baking, which also transfers into my business efforts.  I want my hospitality and caring attitude to be very obvious the second someone shakes my hand and makes eye contact with me.

I am a person to be trusted to solve problems even if I am not the one wearing the cape and being the hero.

All of these things can be shown using those simple concepts.  If you didn’t have the pleasure of reading my last post yet, here is the video for your viewing pleasure:

Next week let’s swap ideas and see what you’ve come up with since my last post.

Meanwhile, I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving with people you truly want to spend time with.  I’m going to get sappy for a second and tell you that I am so thankful that you took time out of your day to read my blog.  I appreciate you and all the friends I have made since I started blogging.

I am endlessly thankful that both of my parents are healthy and with us to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Although we won’t all be together on the actual day, I love my family more than I love cinnamon rolls.  Way more.

Please don’t forget to stop by and say hello to Lindsey over at Gingerbread Bagels!  You can find her recipe for Peanut Butter Cup Blondies here.
