peanut butter bar fail



Why: For my wedding present my mom gave me a cookbook with all the recipes I grew up with. I had fond memories of peanut butter chocolate bars and decided to give it a go.

What: The gist of the recipe is that it's a peanut butter cookie with a layer of chocolate and a layer of peanut butter frosting. If it sounds overly sweet and heavy, it was. I realized that I loved these bars as a kid because it's as much sugar as anyone could ever possibly cram into a little cookie bar. As an adult, it was way too much for me. After one bite it was instantly declared a failure. Maybe for my nieces first sleepover I'll make a batch, drop them off and giggle myself to sleep as I think of the chaos I left behind.
