Saturday Sweetly: Reese's Cookie Bars

Today I have for you a sweet-tooth's recipe that has two of my favorite ingredients: chocolate and peanut butter!

This recipe is actually on the back of Reese's peanut butter chips package. Since the packages are always changing, though, I thought I would share this recipe with
those of you who might not have seen it. The ingredients needed for this recipe are as follows:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cups baking cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 1/2 sticks butter (1 1/4 cup)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla 
  • 10 ounce package peanut butter morsels
The package of morsels also gives some instructions for how to make the cookies, but my Mom and I have stopped using those instructions since our easier way still tastes the same. First, you will want to pre-heat the oven to 350º F. Then these are the next steps:

 Now you need to add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir them together well.

The only things left to do now are to pour the dough into a lightly buttered 9x13 pan and spread it out evenly. After that stick it in the oven for about 21 minutes. Yum!

After the cookie has cooled, it will sink in the middle slightly. Once the cookie is completely cooled, it will be easier to cut into bars of your-choice sizes. Have you ever had a peanut butter and chocolate recipe? Feel free to share it with me through Facebook or the comment section below.

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with snow.    My little horse must think it queer
