So this last week was a whirlwind. Book swap party, 30th wedding anniversary party and children books party for a baby to come. Pheww. For the book swap party, which was given by "My Life At Playtime," I volunteered to make a dessert. While surfing Pinterest I found a gorgeous peanut butter bar and I was determined to make it for this party. For the recipe go
here. Only comment on the recipe is that I would put the pan in the refrigerator right after you put the second layer of peanut butter on. It needs to harden a bit before you smear the last layer of chocolate.
Since this was a book swapping party I took one of my old college books that I wouldn't will on anyone, Plato's Last Days of Socrates. I cut up strips, wrapped them around the cold bars and tied them with twine. This made up for the fact that cutting these bars was a hot mess. These are decadent, very rich, I saw people cutting them in half, but well they came back for the other half too.
As for the books I chose, well I only wanted one and I took three, sorry SB, I couldn't help myself. I chose The Help, The Hunger, and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. That last one has my name written all over it. I'll tell you how I feel about them once I get them read. I have SOoooo many books right now.
One last thing, I have to say I'm liking my iPhone photos better than my expensive camera, go figure.
