Hey Amy!

I love peanut butter.  I love it on bread, bananas, graham crackers, a spoon.  My friend from church, Mrs. Honadel, told me recently that women should eat one tablespoon of peanut butter every day as it aids in heart health.  Thanks Mrs. Honadel for the tip!

This recipe is so simple, your kids can make it with your supervision.  You can whip it up at the last minute when your husband/boyfriend/child says “Oh I need to take something to school/work tomorrow” and its bedtime.  I call it heaven becuase it sure tastes like it and it has some of my favorite ingredients.  You will need a candy thermometer and you can get one rather inexpensive at Target or your supermarket.

Ingredients:

1 lb. package powdered sugar
5 oz. can evaporated milk
12 oz. jar creamy peanut butter
7 oz. jar marshmallow creme

In a large sturdy saucepan, combine sugar and milk and cook over medium heat until candy thermometer reaches 240.  Stir constantly while the temperature is rising.  Remove from heat, blend in peanut butter and marshmallow creme.  Pour into greased 13 x 9 baking dish and chill until set.  Cut into squares and indulge!

I have made these and cut them into teeny squares to use as a dipper into chocolate at a fondue party.
