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.”
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.
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.
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.
