Peanut Butter Cups

Peanut Butter Cups

Every year I tell myself that I will give baked goods as gifts to friends. As the holidays approach, I start finding reasons to not follow-thru.
My excuses range from “I don’t have the time” to “I’m not a very good baker, who would want my stuff.”

Peanut Butter Cups
The truth is, I am not confident in my baking ability. I know what you are thinking…..a guy that bakes and blogs every week must be full of confidence.

I’m not.

When I bake for the blog, I try not to eat more than a small bite of what I make. Everything in moderation, you know. After taking photos, I pack everything up and send it to work with my husband. He puts it on a table outside his office for his co-workers.

In the evening when he gets home, I ask for a full rundown on his co-worker’s comments. I want to know the bad as well as the good.

The comments are always nice, but I still think I could have made it better. I guess we are all like that. It’s hard putting yourself out there when you worry about rejection.

I have to say that my Peanut Butter Cups are amazing and Dale’s co-workers said so too!!

They are creamy and sweet, the perfect comfort food. I hope you try my recipe and feel comfortable giving these peanut butter cups away.
I am making them today to give to friends….tis the season.
