    The Best Homemade Granola Bars Ever

    Warning: these bars are addictive!! I finally found the perfect, healthy Granola Bar recipe and I am thrilled to share it with you here. Most granola bar recipes contain loads of butter to obtain their distinct crunchiness, but this recipe only has a couple tablespoons of oil and is loaded with texture and flavor.

    Peanut Butter Balls

    My Mom’s recipe for Peanut Butter Balls is huge hit every Christmas. Of all of the desserts and candies baked for the holidays, these delicious creamy Peanut Butter Balls really stand out for their exceptional flavor and fun, bite-sized shape. The filling is made of butter, peanut butter, confectioner’s sugar and Rice Krispies for crunch. Once rolled and chilled, the balls are dipped in an irresistible combination of melted dark and milk chocolate, creating a silky and glossy chocolate finish. These Peanut Butter Balls taste like a homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup — but better. I highly recommend this recipe for all the peanut butter-lovers in your life. Enjoy!

    Paula Deen’s Magical Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

    Today I decided to make Paula Deen’s famous “Magical Peanut Butter Cookies.” Although Ms. Deen is known for her deliciously rich, butter and cream-filled, over-the-top creations, one of her most popular recipes (703 likes on facebook!) is actually good for you! What makes these cookies so magical is the fact that they are flourless, sugar-free, gluten-free, low-carb and absolutely scrumptious all at the same time. With only 4 simple ingredients that you almost always have on hand in your pantry, this recipe is a fabulous addition to your cookie repertoire and something all peanut-butter lovers will go crazy for. Pssst, don’t tell them they are sugar-free and flourless – they’ll never know! 😉

    I modified mine slightly by making them bite-sized instead of regular-sized cookies. Keep reading for the recipe!
