Mac & Cheese Monster

This whole post
is self explainatory...

  Hi,
       this is my daughter
Baby Bella...
         she loves mac & cheese
{not eating it,
               ...wearing it}

These are all of her
{daily} expressions.

&& Now you know why
      I don't E.V.E.R.
live a dull life

No Bake- Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Yum. 
Pinterest you got me again.

Are you ready to try these babies for yourself?

WARNING:
These contain a high sugar & butter content
that may cause you to crave more... adding
unexpected calories to your daily diet.
                                                             :)

INGREDIENTS:
* 1 cup creamy peanut butter {I used Jif Creamy}
* 2 tbsp softened butter
* 1/2 cup powdered sugar- maybe more {I used 3/4 cup}
* 3/4 cup brown sugar- maybe more {I used 3/4 cup}
* Pretzels
* 1 bag  semi-sweet chocolate chips {only needed a half bag}

First,
cream together
1 cup peanut butter
& 2 tbsp softened butter



Next, add both sugars:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

& 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Check your batter

              to make sure it's not sticky

{you'll need to be able to roll it in a ball}

If it ends up being

                 sticky like mine...

       add more powdered sugar.

{I ended up using 3/4 cup total powdered sugar

                 && 3/4 cup brown sugar}

After adding more powdered sugar,

        take a TSP measurement

amount of your mixture

        & smash it inbetween

   two pretzels.

Finish this process

         till you run out of dough

Stick them in the freezer for

                       approximate 30 minutes,

             {or until the dough is hard}

Once they've chilled

it's time to start prepping the

       chocolate.

Place chocolate chips in a

        {microwave safe} container

& heat in increments of 30 seconds,

        stirring inbetween.

CAUTION:

     If this step is done wrong

            {aka... heating them up for a full 2 minutes}

you'll end up with burnt chocolate chips,

                 a smelly microwave

     & throw out a half bag of delicious chocolate.

          {LIKE ME! UGH!}

While the chocolate chips

            are heating {slowly}

Place a piece of parchment paper

on a plate to help with sticking

       when the chocolate dries.

After your chocolate is fully melted

dip half of your peanut butter bite

                into the chocolate

& place it onto your parment plate.

{Repeat this process till they are all dipped

& place in the freezer again}

Once the chocolate is hardened...

keep in the refrigerator until served.

       && ENJOY.

I know I did....
