Hope that all of you had a fabulous weekend!! We had a blast at my sister’s house, even though our 4-wheeling expedition got hailed out. Thank goodness we had some shelter under a pavilion, because the storm hit hard and fast! Oh, and if you’ve never been under a tin roof during a hail storm-it is LOUD! My youngest son did not like it at all. Poor kid thought the whole roof was going to fall down on us. It sure sounded like it!
Despite getting a little wet, we had a great time. And of course being the 4th of July, we had lots of yummy food. I made the most addicting chocolate peanut butter cookies. They are loaded with not only Reese’s peanut butter chips, but also peanut butter cups. A peanut butter lover’s dream!
I got the idea for this recipe from Melanie at My Kitchen Cafe. I forgot to buy the Reese’s Pieces that she uses, but I think they would be a great addition. Although, even without them I thought these cookies were over the top delicious. If you love chocolate and peanut butter, these are sure to become a favorite!
