No Bake Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares. Well lookie here. If someone would have told me ten years ago that I would spend the majority of my time in a kitchen stirring peanut butter and butter together over a hot stove, I think I would have punched them in the face. Mostly just out of disbelief. Partly because I want to punch someone in the face just to see what happens. Not because I want to harm someone’s pretty face, but because… I want to like… see what it feels like. I think it’d really hurt my hand. But this is totally how I found myself earlier this week.. standing over a hot stove stirring waaaaay too much peanut butter in a very large pot. I don’t know what that means but it’s what I wanted to do. It was nearly impossible to resist. So this normally isn’t my type of recipe – if I’m going to melt anything in a large pot with marshmallows it’s only going to be brown butter and crisped rice cereal – but the minute it popped into my inbox from a reader (thanks Jenn!)
No Bake Peanut Butter S'mores Squares. I’m sort of cheating on you today. This is simply a rework of those peanut butter marshmallow squares that I shared a few weeks ago, just trashed up with some chocolate and graham crackers since I’m a s’mores fanatic. Nothing new, nothing too exciting, nothing insanely creative. Big fat cheater, yes I am. Oh, and um… those squares? Like every single one of you have been eating them all your life, leaving me to feel extremely deprived. No Bake Thin + Chewy Chocolate Drenched Coconut Oatmeal Squares. Want to know what really goes on over here?
This. This goes on. Like I can’t even control myself long enough to take a picture of something before digging in with a fork. Ugh. And it happens ALL THE TIME. And yes, I say forkS with and S because I usually have some forks in every photo since I can’t think of anything new to throw in there and am a.) hungry 2.) lazy and c.) starving. These little squares are serious no-bake delights. Here’s what pretty little coconut oatmeal square tops look like.
And here’s what pretty little coconut oatmeal square butts look like. Thin + Chewy Chocolate Drenched Coconut Oatmeal Squares makes one 9×9 pan (about 16 squares) 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 1 1/2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut 1/4 cup brown sugar, loosely packed. S’mores Brownies. I have wanted to make s’mores brownies for months. Don’t ask me why. I just really love the whole s’mores combination, no matter what it may be. I knew that making these brownies would require me to eat the entire pan. This was way too complicated for Mr. How Sweet. Sometimes he closet eats entire batches of cookies and brownies. Chocolate Coconut Tart Bars. Blueberry Oat Crumble Bars. Last week I bought blueberries. They were pretty. This week I found them dying in my fridge. Nothing new there. No harm was really done – just a few wrinkles. I wanted to make some sort of granola bar, but with fresh blueberries.
I thought so too. So into the bowl went whole wheat flour and oats and cinnamon and brown sugar. As you can see, the blueberries popped just like I hoped they would. While they are delicious warm, they don’t want to stay together at that temperature. But if you can’t wait for them to cool, I would highly suggest crumbling the mix right into some yogurt.
Blueberry Crumble Bars makes about 12 bars 1 1/2 cup rolled oats 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour 3/4 cup brown sugar. Better-Than-Crack-Brownies. I’m sorry for doing this to you.
I really am. But see, last Friday while I was on a 10-hour road trip heading for vacation, I received this recipe from a reader named Liz. Liz, I love you. That’s all I have to say.
