Hey friends! Remember us? Remember how we used to have a blog here? I know it’s been a long freakin’ while, but don’t hold it against us! We own a desktop and a laptop and both of them decided to let their hard drive fail at the same time. The guy at Best Buy said that’s completely normal even though our laptop is only 8 months old. Uh, hello?? That is not acceptable. But two hard drives and a few hundred dollars later {boo}, we’re finally back and ready to share what we’ve been up to for the past three weeks!!

So a couple weeks ago, we got invited for dinner at a freind’s house and I was super excited about it! Our only assignment? Bring dessert. That’s easy enough right? I knew I’d be able to come up with something delicious and let’s be honest – when you’re making food for people, you kind of want to impress them. So, I went about my week, occasionally looking at things to make on Pinterest, but since I’m awesome at procrastinating, I didn’t solidify anything just yet. Sunday rolled around, the day we were suppose to go over for dinner, and…I had totally forgotten I was suppose to make a dessert. Ahh!! I don’t like to shop on Sunday, so I told my friend that I may have to come raid her pantry for ingredients.

We got home from church and I had just over an hour until we had to be over there. Normally, an hour would be plenty long enough time, but when 1/2 hour was spent just looking for a recipe, I became frantic. That is, until I came across this recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter bars from Mandy’s Recipe Box! {Thank heavens!} Luckily, I had all the ingredients and it took like 1/2 hour tops to put it all together. Not to mention, they taste amazing!
